Prayer Champions, using the Gospel of encouragement, spreads comfort, support, and love, relieving discouragement for persons to stimulate change and spiritual growth. A key aspect of encouragement is its ability to alleviate the suffering of those coping with grief, depression, conflict, and illness. Comforting words are the encouragement found throughout scripture for a renewed hope of God’s loving-kindness towards us. "If your gift is encouragement, devote yourself to encouraging," Romans 12:8a, CEB. "The Lord God gives me the right words to encourage the weary. Each morning he awakens me eager to learn his teaching;" Isaiah 50:4, CEV.
