Untapped: Exploring the Promise of Prayer

Overview
In many areas of our lives, we seek to utilize all the resources available to us to accomplish our tasks and goals. As Christians, however, we often leave resources untapped. One great resource that God has placed at our disposal is the privilege and joy of coming to Him in prayer. Whether it is forgotten or only thought about as an option of last resort, we miss out on the promises that God has made to us as we speak to Him and submit our lives to Him in prayer. Join us as we hear from Rev. Andy Jones (Author of 10 Treasures of Learning to Pray) and Deaconess Sylvia Witt, as well as other speakers from across the Michigan District who will help us to explore the promises of prayer.
