During the week of July 14th – 18th, we pray that you will intentionally set time aside to serve the Lord in Winston-Salem. Through your involvement in Mission: Winston-Salem you will have the opportunity to share the immense love of Christ in word and in deed. At the same time we pray that you will better understand how God has shaped you to serve. We also pray that you will get a better glimpse of our city and begin to understand how you can serve the Lord on an on-going basis.
