Most of PCC’s global partners based in the US are abroad regularly, serving global church leaders and many different global ambassadors. During the COVID-19 travel restrictions, much of that has been curtailed, though many have been able to develop an even broader and deeper network of relationships around the world, through deliberate online relationship-building. They all covet your prayers and would love to add you to their regular communications, so you can pray more effectively.
