Prayer Focus: "What does intercession comprehend? It is the golden chain which binds finite man to the throne of the infinite God. The human agent whom Christ has died to save importunes the throne of God and his petition is taken up by Jesus who has purchased him with His own blood." (E.G. White) Thank you, Jesus, for the amazing sacrifice you have made for each one of us! Send your prayer requests & praises to Dina Horst at 402.420.5970. Thank you!
