A member whose spouse is pressuring them to abandon their interest in the Church, another member trying to find employment in line with their gifts, and all our members who are continuing along in RCIA – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with this month at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
