Although there are already African American churches in this area, another one is needed. The population in Forrest City as of 2022 was approximately 12,000-13,000 with over 70% being African Americans. That means there are around 9,000 African Americans in the Forrest City area if not more. In order to reach them all, multiple gospel-centered churches are needed in various neighborhoods across the city. 

Prayer Requests:

• Pray for a church planter to be raised up to plant this church.
• Pray that God would use the believers already in Forrest City and surrounding areas to reach their family, friends, and neighbors with the gospel.
• Pray for the lost, church-hurt, and broken people in Forrest City who need to be loved and that God would be preparing their hearts for the harvest.

Partnership Opportunities:

• Pray! Pray for these requests above, and pray how God would have you become more involved.
• If you live in Forrest City or nearby, be intentional with reaching African Americans you might know or see on a regular basis. 
• If you're interested in planting this church or being involved with this church plant, contact Willie below.
