Azmera GEORGIA 2025 | Prayer Calendar (October 18 - October 24)

Azmera is headed to Georgia and then Northern Ireland for our Fall Haven Retreats! We would love to invite you to join us in praying for every woman who will be at these Retreats - both the women attending and those volunteering on our Connection Crews. These are simple suggestions of how to pray for the women, and we don’t expect you to pray for every single one, but rather hope you will listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit as He highlights the women He has in mind for you to pray for. We also hope the time you spend in prayer is sweet and encouraging for your own walk and relationship with the Lord.  ~suzanna
