And (if we are really honest) we have sometimes failed miserably in our efforts to believe God. While faith building is a process, your faith is strengthened by the Word and often by the testimony of others. If you need your faith strengthened or if you have a testimony that will strengthen the walk of faith for someone else, come share with us as we, like Abraham, believe God for BETTER!

Prayer, it is the one of the primary means of communication for the Christian. We are in a battle! No battle was ever effectively engaged without effective communication. In the art of war, effective communication is using whatever means necessary to get the message across! The spiritual battle we engage will not be won with bombs and guns and our enemy will not be discerned with human senses. We need prayer – effective prayer. The effective, fervent prayer of the righteous is powerful in what it can achieve (James 5:16). BETTER Prayer = BETTER Victories!
