On Pentecost weekend, St. George’s spent 38 hours of straight prayer for the lost. 39 members of our congregation took shifts throughout the day and night and cried out to the Lord for the sake of our unsaved loved ones. Hundreds of names of the unsaved were plastered on the walls of the chapel and were prayed over throughout the weekend. There were also prayer posters that people were encouraged to write prayers, scriptures and words from the Lord upon. Here is what was written.
