Social Concern Prayer
A social concern prayer meeting takes place at our member churches once every two months. This prayer is aimed at familiarizing brothers and sisters with pressing issues and needs in society. It is also meant to help them relate their faith to the issues and come up with a biblical response. By doing so, brothers and sisters will gain a fuller understanding of the justice of God and will be more in touch with His compassionate heart for the broken and oppressed.
