A member praying for fortitude against their fears of becoming Catholic, another member worried that becoming Catholic will destroy their marriage, and another member seeking to meet Catholic friends – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
