About 100 neighbors and Action volunteers gathered to celebrate 10 years of People of Praise life in Shreveport’s Allendale neighborhood on August 2. A banner hanging above the empty lot where they met for prayer and food offered a theme taken from the Scriptures—We are all one in Christ Jesus (Gal. 3:28).

The community’s first day camp on the South Side of Indianapolis wrapped up at the end of June. Action volunteers and Christians in Mission (CIM) team members worked together to pull off the eight-day camp for over 20 children.

 

The Waldo Canyon fire still smolders outside Colorado Springs, but community brothers and sisters and many other residents who left their homes have returned safely.

Violent thunderstorms rocked the Washington, DC, area on June 29 bringing lengthy power outages to more than 50 community households. They were among 1.4 million area residents who lost electricity. Northern Virginia branch members banded together through outages that lasted from one to five days.

 

“Holy Spirit, come revive this land!” We want this prayer to spread to Christians and to everyone. The prayer comes from the words to a new song called “Revive This Land” by Jared Gonzalez. We’re excited to announce a new and exciting way to spread the prayer: a “Revive This Land” music video.

 

As the massive Waldo Canyon wildfire raged on the edges of Colorado Springs on Wednesday night, branch members gathered at Pat and Kara Hrbacek’s home to pray for their city and region. Everyone in the branch is safe and unharmed, but 10 brothers and sisters left their homes this week to avoid the encroaching blaze.
