LEADERSHIP QUEST – PRAYER TEAM
Twenty ELEVATErs (current and past) will head on Sunday morning for a week of leadership/discipleship training in the northern woods of Minnesota near Brimson, MN.

Would you be willing to spend time each day this next praying for one of these participants? If so, check out this NEEDS LIST and select the person you will commit to praying for!
