COVER US IN PRAYER
PRAYER + PRAISES
The power of prayer is evident here at North Star Initiative, so we invite you to stand with us as one of our many prayer warriors. Daily you may cover our organization, staff, and residents in prayers, prayers for guidance, direction, healing, and protection. Below you will find more specific prayers for our current season at NSI.
