BeEmpowered

Are You Ready to BeEmpowered?
God loves you and wants to give you a fresh start. The way to find forgiveness from God and to begin a relationship with Him is to trust in Jesus’ sacrifice for you and repent—turn from your sins. We encourage you to take this step of faith today. To do that, simply talk to God—this is called praying—and tell Him you believe in His Son, Jesus.
We suggest a prayer like this:
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead. I trust and follow you as my Lord and Savior. Guide my life and help me to do your will. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
