A former Pentecostal pastor preparing to celebrate his first Christmas as a Catholic, a husband and wife trying to find middle ground between differing levels of interest in Catholicism, and all our members who have entered the Church but aren’t sure yet how to fit in here – 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!
