Strengthen marriages, encourage parents, comfort grieving families.

Restore broken relationships.

Provide for those facing financial hardship.

Touch those battling illness, and sustain caregivers who faithfully serve their loved ones.

Protect our children and grandchildren from every destructive influence, and establish them in Your truth.

Let every family represented here become a testimony of Your faithfulness, mercy, and sustaining grace.

COMING THIS AUGUST…

Introducing #SWATSPrayerWatch

“I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me…”
Ezekiel 22:30 KJV

Dear SWATS Family,

Prayer has always been at the heart of this ministry.

Beginning this August, we are introducing a new weekly feature called #SWATSPrayerWatch a dedicated time for us to stand together before God in prayer.

This is more than another post to read.

It is an invitation to become an active participant in a community of believers who believe that God hears and answers prayer.

Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, we will gather around God’s Word, pray over specific needs, and stand in agreement with one another.

What to Expect

Tuesdays:

Intercession for our nations, communities, and the issues affecting our world.

Thursdays:

Praying for the Church, families, leaders, and spiritual growth.

Saturdays:

Our interactive Prayer Watch, where you are invited to share your prayer requests, encourage one another, and stand together in faith.

How You Can Participate

🙏 Read the Scripture and prayer focus.

🙏 Pray the corporate prayer aloud.

🙏 Share your prayer request in the comments if you would like others to stand with you.

🙏 Take a moment to pray for someone else’s request.

🙏 Return during the week to encourage those who have shared their burdens.

Together, let us fulfill the command of Scripture:

“Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2 KJV

Prayer is not our last response. It is our first line of spiritual engagement.

Whether your need is great or small, whether you are rejoicing or grieving, whether you are standing strong or struggling to keep going, you are welcome here.

Let us become a community that not only studies God’s Word but also faithfully stands in the gap for one another.

I look forward to praying with you throughout August.

Grace and peace.

Hephzibah Christly
