1 Corinthians 3:9 reads, “For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.” Ministry was never meant to be done alone. We are grateful to partner with others across the nation, laboring together to see lives changed by the gospel.

Easter reminds us of the hope we have because of Jesus. Through His resurrection, we are given new life and a hope that never fades. Grateful for the pastors and church planters who share this message every day. He is risen!

Today we remember Palm Sunday, when Jesus entered Jerusalem and the crowds welcomed Him with palm branches, declaring: “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.” Matthew 21:9

As we begin Holy Week, may we reflect on His love and the victory that was to come.

Praying for your pastor matters.
Ways to pray:
• For wisdom and strength as they lead their church communities.
• For rest and renewal so they are spiritually and emotionally refreshed.
• For their families, that they would feel supported and encouraged.

Did you know that we have a monthly prayer newsletter that goes out to our 23 Project Foundation prayer partners? Some topics we cover in our newsletters are ways to pray for our church planters, praise reports, and pastoral sabbatical updates.
