That is what Dr. Sproul would have asked us to pray for. Absolutely. So please pray that we'll be faithful to Christ and to the Scriptures. Pray that we'll have wisdom. You've heard something of the opportunities that are laid before us. We've heard so powerfully from J.D. about appeals made to us for help.
