Pray specifically for the Slovenes of Argentina

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
readMatthew 28:16-20

Pray that those who don't yet know Him will encounter the risen Savior and be transformed by the power of His resurrection, becoming disciples who make disciples.
