Dear HIM Family,
God’s heart is always for humanity; all the people in the world. As God’s beloved children, let us resonate with God’s heartbeat and mission. We are emphasising on the overall theme of “Strengthen to Saturate”. We are trusting in God, His Word and by His power to anoint us as His vessels. We are to be strengthened by Him to saturate the world around us with the Gospel and His love for all. We are asking the Lord to anoint us to be carriers of His Presence. We are asking the Lord to empower us as His mouthpiece, hands and feet to the community around us. Let’s saturate all our localities with prayers of faith as we fast and seek the face of God together!
