The Esther Movement

Christian believers in Illinois are never at a loss for issues to pray about. With the upcoming election and yet another opportunity to affect change in our state, we invite you to join us in 3 days of fasting and prayer just prior to and including March 20th. The apostle Paul reminds us not to get discouraged or anxious, but rather in every situation, to pray and petition God. We are also told that our weapons are not of this world and that the battle is a spiritual one that is taking place in the heavenly realm NOW.
