Prayer ideas
Get in touch with your inner creative – draw something that reflects how you want the world to be. Feel free as a group to get as creative as you want! Let it be a prayer. AND/OR Pray over each participant’s work or ministry. Pray that God would use their roles to contribute positively to the culture.
