Join Us In 52 Weeks Of Prayer

Each week during our prayer time we will highlight a specific group in our community (local law enforcement, schools, hospitals, military, government leaders, foster care/DCS, farmers, missionaries, etc.) as is an intentional way for our congregation to remain prayerful, outwardly focused, and unified as we intercede for our community and beyond.

This week in our 52-Week Prayer Focus, we are lifting up one of the missionaries and mission organizations we support. We are grateful for the ways God is working not just in our community, but around the world—through people and ministries faithfully serving in His name.

This week, we are praying for Indiana State Police and the troopers, detectives, dispatchers, and staff who serve through the Pendleton Post, led by Post Commander Lieutenant Josh Watson.

The Pendleton Post serves a large portion of east-central Indiana, including Hancock County and several surrounding counties. Indiana State Police personnel respond to crashes and emergencies, investigate crimes, patrol our highways and communities, assist local law enforcement agencies, and serve in many other specialized roles.

Because of the large area they serve and the wide variety of situations they encounter, these men and women carry significant responsibilities. They often respond to dangerous situations, serious accidents, and families experiencing some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

As followers of Christ, we have the opportunity to faithfully pray for those who serve and protect our communities.

"The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.— Psalm 121:8
