“Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;” (Romans 12:12).

“Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;” (Colossians 4:2).

On a cool Friday morning,  a young man takes his friend to a Bakersfield hospital for surgery. During her appointment, he decides to relax in his car just outside the hospital and call a classified ad. To his surprise, he hears on the other end “Hello!  Do you have a prayer request?”

He “accidentally” called the Country Oaks Baptist Church Prayer Chain. You, too, can call the Prayer Chain at 823-9907. This phone number is a “Hot Line” dedicated solely to the Prayer Chain Ministry. Once a prayer request enters the Prayer Chain, about thirty men and women are notified by either phone and/or email. Each then immediately sends prayers to Our Heavenly Father.

If you would like more information on the COBC Prayer Chain Ministry, would like to become a part of this ministry or would like to send a prayer request by email, please contact Caroline Robison at prayerchain@countryoaks.org
