  • I ask for prayer for the Southern California Mobilization Working Day we are hosting next Saturday (Jan 27th)? We are gathering a few staff and volunteers from around the Southern California area, and taking a day to think about how we can mobilize better. We will be guiding them through some exercises that will hopefully result in an action plan that can be followed by the teams. We need magnitudes more people if we are to reach the students here, and I'm praying this will be a step towards a much needed expansion in our ministry.
