“Over the past few months, God has created an excitement in me to pray for people. I think about it during the week and I’m disappointed if there are weeks when I can’t be at the Vineyard’s weekend services or I have to leave early so I can’t go up to pray for people on…

“Thank you for all the incredible work y’all do at Fruit of the Vine (FOTV).

“My daughter started a new school in 6th grade and was the only one from her elementary school to go there. She is normally an outgoing, funny, and happy kid and up for meeting new people and new experiences. Making friends at her new school was tough though. All the other kids already had their…
