24-Hour Prayer Line
Johnson Ferry’s Prayer Ministry spans miles beyond our community. Our 24-hour prayer line, as well as this website, receive prayer requests from around the world. Trained volunteers pray for these requests and send encouraging notes. The Prayer Ministry is important in ministering to those who attend Johnson Ferry. Additionally, volunteers call for follow up on those prayer requests. This ministry is not only a blessing to those prayed for, but also to the intercessors who pray.
Praying for UUPG
Prayer for UUPG will be suspended until Monday, January 9. Join us for weekly prayer for the Unreached Unengaged People Groups on Mondays, 8:00 – 9:00 a.m. in the Global Ministries Office located at 1000 Johnson Ferry Rd., Suite E-150. During the month of January, we are fasting and praying on Fridays with a special prayer time at 12 noon - 1 p.m. in the Chapel.
