An Invitation to Pray...
This July, we are pausing our usual communications to concentrate on prayer—something we believe could change the future of Extollo and our work in Haiti.
We are inviting you to pray.
Not just a brief, passing prayer—but a focused, intentional month of listening to God together. We believe God has a vision for Extollo's future and for the people of Haiti, and we believe He will reveal it to those who ask and listen. We want to hear from Him—and we believe He speaks through people like you.
Here's What We're Asking You to Do:
-
Pray every day in July - or as many days as you're able.
-
Spend 5–10 minutes each day (or more) praying and listening for God's words for Extollo.
-
Use this month to deepen your own prayer life—not just for us, but for yourself.
A Few Encouragements as You Pray:
-
Expect God to speak to you—even if that rarely happens.
-
Please share anything and everything—big or small, clear or unclear. God's voice will be used for good, and we want to hear it all.
-
God often speaks in whispers. Don't dismiss the quiet impressions.
