At Stonebriar Community Church, it’s our mission to love God and love others, because God first loved us. And our calling to love others has no limits or borders—we are committed to loving those in our community of Frisco, the state of Texas, our nation, and countries all over the world.
As part of our answer to this call, we invite you to pray with us for people who are suffering and in desperate need of hope. Below, you will find many resources to help you pray intentionally for people facing hardships worldwide, especially those who are in the middle of war, strife, and total devastation.
