YISS is designed to enable you to experience God through a series of prayers, short talks, real-life testimonials and group sharing.

Intercessory through Rosary
Have you ever felt the longing to pray the rosary but perhaps lack that extra bit of motivation to start? Or maybe you just need some sort of encouragement to pray regularly..?
The Emmaus intercessory ministry has came up with this idea of starting a chain rosary within our community. The purpose is to invite our members to pray for the community, the intentions in the prayer box and the speaker for the upcoming session on that week.
For more information, let Elizabeth know, ok?
To increase the interest to recite rosary, you can read the book "The Secret of the Rosary" by St Louis de Montfort. Just download here in pdf format.
Our vision and mission
Take a look at our final Vision and Mission page :). We are looking forward to create prayer card to pray so that we can achieve our mission and vision.
We have a Charismatic Catholic prayer group down here in Tyler, Texas. It had been as large as 60 people when it started about mid 2007. We found that most of the attendees are holdovers from the late 1970's and early 80's. What happened to the move of the spirit? Was it not duplicated in young adults for the last 30 years.
