STUDENT MINISTRY
This past Saturday, your Hoffmantown Student Ministry took a Prayer Walk in our state capitol, Santa Fe. We had 20 students and 5 volunteers take the Railrunner from Albuquerque to the Santa Fe Depot. We took time to pray for our national, state, city leaders, education department, judicial system, veterans and first responders, among other prayer prompts. We also prayed for gospel opportunities and for folks we saw along the way. Thank you for all the prayers and support for this trip! It was a fantastic opportunity for HSM and it could not have gone better!
