The Power of Prayer - Brigitte Donoho

Singer, songwriter, and worship leader Brigitte Donoho first picked up the guitar at eight years old with dreams of rock stardom. But in her teenage years, she walked away from her love for music and her faith in God. Yet, through the power of a praying mom, God got ahold of her heart and led her back to His. She eventually found her way into music ministry and is now serving God and building His Kingdom through song.
 
Tune in to hear how God changed her heart and showed his faithfulness through her years of ministry. You'll also get the story behind her new single about revival, called "Acts 2".
 
There's no telling how God will move through our prayers!
