DAY OF PRAYER AND FASTING

April 8, 2009, has been declared a Day of Prayer and Fasting. See the Official Proclamation and the Six Prayer Points on our PWOC International website. Spend time in prayer on this day, and think of the words to this year's theme song....

The more I see You,the more I find You.
The more I find You, the more I love You.

I want to sit at Your feet, drink from the cup in Your hand
Lay back against You and breathe, feel Your heartbeat
This love is so deep.
It's more than I can stand.
I melt in Your peace; it's overwhelming.
