NAMB Prayer Requests
We have placed our special-needs son, Shane, on hospice. We made this decision with understanding and love. He has had a wonderful life and knows the Lord. It is time for him, and we place him in God’s hands. His siblings are coming in to visit him and have closure. Please pray that we as parents will have loving wisdom, support, and understanding, as all of us say our earthly farewells.
Dear brother and sisters, continue praying for us that God may open doors. After teaching the Bible to a small group for a long time, we finally had our first baptism this past summer. Pray for strength and health for my wife, Ana, my son, Aaron, and me. We ask for your urgent prayers that the Lord may provide us with resources, as we are working with only 30 percent of our budget.
We are in the midst of doing our biggest outreach yet. We are giving every teacher in Lynn public schools (a total of about 2,400 people) a bagel breakfast in partnership with a local cafe called One Mighty Mill. We gathered 30 people from the community to deliver and serve the teachers. We pray this opportunity to serve will open opportunities to share and that people will be called to join our launch team so we can see the city of Lynn navigate toward Jesus and one another.
Pray our team will remain steadfast and strong in the Lord and continue evangelizing and making disciples. Our community has a big fall festival coming up. They have asked us to help run it, so this is a great connection point to our community. Pray hearts will be soft toward Jesus and that we will make new connections and relationships.
We are seeing some amazing things right now. We launched in February 2024 and are currently seeing around 400 in average attendance as of October 2025. We have seen 80 baptisms this year so far, with many young adults and young families coming to Jesus; however, our church needs prayer for one specific trend we are seeing. We are noticing that some of our early members are struggling to appreciate the recent growth in our church and the amount of energy it takes in a portable church. Thus, several have decided that they would prefer to either watch online, attend a more established church, or go to a smaller church. Subsequently, this has put us in a position where we are the largest we’ve ever been, but our offerings have dipped significantly. We are praying that God would send people who have a clear call from God to contribute their lives, which includes their energy, time, prayers, and finances.
Pray for my dad. He is in urgent need of a liver transplant. We’re asking for healing, strength and peace during this difficult time and that a suitable donor would be found quickly. Pray also for wisdom and guidance for his medical team and comfort for our family as we walk through this together.
Pray for my family and me during this deployment. Pray our love and connection to my wife and kids will grow despite the miles of separation. Pray I will have divine appointments with our Soldiers. Pray my chaplain craft and skills will improve. Pray God will heal my kids, who have severe medical conditions, and that they will have no major medical issues.
