While we’re called to pray at all times, we especially cry out to God in times of global crises—such as poverty, violence, disease. Yet how do we pray globally? How can we pray for everyone, everywhere?

We all face crises in our lives, but do we know how to show up for ourselves and others in the midst of a crisis?

I LOVE MY CHURCH. People talk about what they love. They love their spouse, love their children. Or they love their job, sports team or pet, but how many people say they love their church? My prayer is that as you follow this plan, you may re-discover your love of the church and its purpose. Helping our churches today to be authentic, mirroring the original church. That is Simply Church.

Just as Jesus touched the leper and befriended the sinner, we too are made to love others—even in the face of challenge and risk. Right now, there are thousands of children and families in desperate need of the love you and your community can provide. Discover how you can live out your purpose to love those who are most vulnerable in society in this seven-day plan.
