African Network of Prayer – Calvary Church Woodstock

“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth” (1 Timothy 2:1-4, NLT).
