A member struggling with divisions in their denomination and wondering if they’ll experience the same thing in Catholicism, another member praying their spouse will share their interest in Catholicism, and all our members who are preparing to enter the Church at Pentecost — these are just a few of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
