SUMMER | There are fewer P2C events throughout late spring and early summer, as this is the time many of our ministries and partners plan mission trips and summer projects. Throughout May, June, July, and August, many of our staff and volunteers will be traveling to support local churches and ministries in their work and to make Jesus known around the world. Please be in prayer for all our trips during this time. [Power to Change]
