Noble Warriors Prayer Guide for Friday, July 30

We know that Noble Warriors exists and has Kingdom impact only because God allows it to be so. Please plan to join with us in praying for this work on Friday. A number of folks will be coming to the Noble Warriors Office to pray during the day. We've also set up a 12-hour prayer schedule. We'd love to know that you're praying during a particular time. You can register here.

We'd love to hear how God responds to your prayer time on behalf of the ministry. Please take time to comment below. Also, if you'd like for us to pray for you specifically, please send Mike an email directly. We'll pray for you during the day at the Noble Warriors office.

By the way... you know that Noble Warriors is a ministry to men, but much of our impact comes from the fact that many women pray for us! Ladies, please feel free to be part of this prayer movement!

Here's a list of things you could pray for and about on our behalf...
