STOP & PRAY Community Outreach

Our American society is living in a time of great emotional and physical stress. This is a proven fact as evidenced on the nightly news. Growing atrocities such as youth violence, child abduction, rape, and suicides plague our communities.

When tragedy strikes a neighborhood, people will come together and pray. Suddenly, dividing walls are down and needs override differences. “Why wait until tragedy strikes to come together and pray?” asks George Matranga, a local minister. “Today people are facing life-threatening issues that were rare just a few years ago. Sudden tragedy and incurable diseases have threatened countless lives. People’s emotions have been put through the wringer.”

We are aware of the great duress in the lives of many. It sometimes seems there is no where to turn and no one to trust. We want to offer the community a solution – the hope of prayer.

We have come together with some area pastors that believe inthe power of prayer. These are community leaders in good standing: Les Derrick of Living Way Church , Bob Collins of Gulf Coast Foursquare Church , Doug Troxell of Big House Church , and George Matranga of Matranga Ministries International Inc., who is sponsoring the outreach.

The Bible says in Philippians 4:6, “...in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” If you want a safe harbor, a place you can trust to bring your needs, we encourage you to “STOP & PRAY”.

We will have a tent set up with praise and worship music played by several local bands. There will also be a tent set up for those that wish to pray with a prayer partner. If you cannot stay, please feel free to drop off prayer requests. You can be assured your need will receive prayer. Jesus desires that you come to Him and He offers you hope in the form of hearing your prayers.

The STOP & PRAY Community Outreach will be Saturday June 9, 2001 from 9 AM – 4 PM , under the tent at Living Way Church , 18801 FM 528, Webster , TX 77598 . For more information please call 281-332-2104. We hope to see you there!
