May Prayer Partnership Update
You're invited to partner with us in prayer! In the video above, Gwen Green, our Prayer Coordinator introduces our prayer partnership and how you can participate.
In 2021, WMUV began praying with our sisters in ministry in New York. In the same spirit, we would like to extend an invitation to prayer to women in Virginia, and we welcome anyone interested in praying more to participate. We believe prayer changes things - read below for ways to engage with us:
