Relationships continue to be the key ingredient in the ministry of Bates Place . Please pray that we would be able to build relationships with people who stop by for help, but are often quite suspicious of anything to do with church or Christians. Pray that the light of life might set them free of these suspicions as they get to know us, so we can walk together following our common Savior.
