PAOC 4-14 Prayer Focus: Quebec

As the Children’s Ministries Director for the PAOC District of Quebec, my prayer for children in Quebec is to see them connect with God, for them to see Jesus as a real hero who loves them, and that they would be filled by the Spirit as He teaches them about who they are as children of God. I also pray that our children would develop a strong love for the Word of God, not as any other book, but that they would understand and believe that every word in it comes from God Himself. I invite you today to join with us across the nation and around the world in praying for the children of Quebec.
