Prepare for O Give Thanks!
Join us as we unite in a week of Fasting and Prayer November 16th-21st. This is always an amazing time of breakthrough and manifestation and we are looking forward to another amazing week. Anointing Oil is available in the Bookstore.
Our Theme for O Give Thanks 2014 is: I shall have what I say!
Mark 11:23 reads:
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
We thank God for the members of Mountaintop Faith Ministries for entrusting us to watch over your souls. It is our prayer that through the Word, praise, worship and fellowship that you are thankful for this assembly that the Lord has gathered together in this region.
Pastor Clinton & Dr. Mary L. House

BUILDING A SPIRIT OF PRAYER IN THE HOME
