How to pray with Hope for New York in 2017
We want to be a people who serve our poor and marginalized neighbors in both word and deed. We put feet to our faith as we tangibly serve the needs of our neighbors, and we also go to the Father on their behalf, presenting their needs to Him in prayer as we seek their welfare.
Please join us in committing to spend time praying earnestly for our neighbors in need this year. Each month our prayers will focus on a specific population in our city. You can learn more at hfny.org/prayer. Below is a short month-by-month guide to get you started as you pray for our neighbors throughout the year.
