Carol and Hilda also served on behalf of the Women’s Mission Union during this powerful, Spirit-led gathering. The summit focused on building a culture of prayer in churches and emphasized the sacredness of entering God’s throne room through prayer.

Carol Allen Represents Arbor Christian Fellowship at Bi-Annual DOM Meeting
Carol Allen, representing Arbor Christian Fellowship as a member of the California Southern Baptist Convention’s Prayer Team, participated in the bi-annual meeting of the Directors of Missions (DOMs), in Fresno, California. The meeting featured a powerful time of prayer led by Bill Elliff, who also prayed specifically for Carol’s prayer team. The event was a lead-up to the Ascent Prayer Summit in April, where church leaders will gather to seek God’s presence through Scripture-fed, Spirit-led, worship-based prayer. As part of the 2025 CSBC Prayer Initiative, these events are aimed at deepening the prayer life of every believer and transforming churches into Houses of Prayer. Carol’s involvement continues to play a vital role in strengthening prayer initiatives at Arbor and across the state.
