Hobart Assembly of God is in the process of expanding its Hobart, Indiana, facilities to accommodate a growing congregation. The church has served as a spiritual center for the community since 1938. In addition to ministries, global missionary programs, and three Sunday services, Hobart Assembly accepts prayer request from residents of Indiana and surrounding areas.

Believers can submit prayer requests for any issues troubling them, including illness, financial difficulties, and problems of loved ones. This act of communal praying has several positive benefits, including:

Encouragement. Prayer can be a powerful way for a congregation to uplift members who are dealing with trying circumstances. Knowing that they have the support of their community can encourage people to persevere through their difficulties.

Strengthened faith. In many cases, people forget about the troubles that plagued their thoughts once their prayers have been answered. Recording and reviewing prayer requests is a great reminder to be thankful for all that God has done.

Altruism. Praying for others is one of the most generous acts a believer can perform. This sentiment is echoed in James 5:16, which says, ‘’Pray for one another, that you may be healed.’’ Fulfilling prayer requests benefits all parties by reminding them of God’s generosity.
