Will you bring soil from where you live? On April 9th we are going to mix all the soil from 254 counties as representation of the unified prayers going up that day. We are then are going to ask people to take soil back home with them as a reminder of the unified prayer of that day. We are believing that Prayer at the Heart will continue to take place throughout the state of Texas at the county and city levels. So please on April 9th bring soil from your home town. It can be a jar or a sandwich bag, but bring soil so all of Texas's ground will be represented on April 9th. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!
HOW CAN YOU PRAY? Pray for people to come from all 254 counties. Pray for good weather. Pray for God to do what only He can do in our midst. Pray for all the logistics to come together.
