 1 Corinthians 15.58 reminds us of the importance of progress and growth in our communities. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. Right now, with this in mind, let's pray. Almighty God, we ask you to guide Sochiel Torres Small as she works on behalf of rural development. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
