One of our core values at Benvenue is that we treasure prayer. We believe the presence of God in the church is directly proportional to the amount of prayer that takes place there. That is why we devote a great deal of our time to prayer. When we considered prayer in light of our mission, we thought: ‘What better way to reach our community than to pray with them?’ Of course we pray for them, but we wanted to take it one step further. From that desire, Drive-Thru Prayer was bo

A lot of wonderful ideas were shared at the meeting, leaving nothing to ponder. Just do it. We as a church are excited about the new disciples on the h

Psalm 13 The prophet Samuel was led of God to declare David, a teenage shepherd boy, to be the next King of Israel. After the brief, solemn ceremony with his family in Bethlehem, we would naturally assume that a royal chariot with military escort and official entourage immediately escorted David to a palace throne. However, this only initiated 11 years of hardships, trials, and challenges which God used to prepare David to be a King and “a man after God’s own heart.” In Psalm
