Through prayer, when we are ever interceding, we become ONE with Jesus, our Father, and the Holy Spirit. And that changes everything! (Even US!)
Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints (Ephesians 6:18 ESV). “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (John 17:20-21 ESV). Therefore encourage one another and build one another up (1 Thessalonians 5:11 ESV). 68

Praying together is the foundation in Acts 2:42. Praying together is the foundation that we laid from day ONE in Women World Leaders. We are a ministry that was started and founded on prayer; this discipline continues—all we do and seek for Women World Leaders will always be bathed in prayer.
