NAMB Prayer Requests
I’m reaching out with an urgent prayer request on behalf of the people of Iran. This is a spiritually sensitive and critical time. Please join us in praying that the gospel would be boldly and wisely shared among Iranians. Pray hearts would be softened and open to receive the message of Jesus Christ. Pray those sharing the gospel would be protected, empowered, and led by the Holy Spirit. Pray barriers would be removed—both spiritual and political—so the truth of Christ can spread freely. We believe that God is moving, and now is the time to intercede for a harvest in Iran. Thank you for standing with us in prayer.
Pray God will provide funds for a new church building. We have purchased and paid off 13 acres, and we are now raising money to build, but it is coming in slowly. We are currently meeting in an abandoned church that is much too small and has many issues that are not attractive to newcomers. We are having two services and getting by, but we believe the growth rate will increase exponentially when we can get in a bigger, fresher space. Thank you for your prayers!
Pray we would have the right facility at the right time and the right people at the right time. Pray for wisdom, guidance, clarity and courage. Pray that our family—our three kids Scarlett, Shepard and Willow—be our first ministry. Thank you!
Continue to pray for us as we continue to minister and engage our community in Toronto, which is predominantly Muslim. Also, pray for our ministry with international students. It is getting more difficult for them as the government has tightened restrictions and measures that make it financially difficult for them. Pray that we can continue to reach them with the gospel, even with their busy schedules. Pray also for our growing family as we are expecting our third child. My wife is scheduled for a cesarean section delivery on May 1. Pray for safety and good health for both mom and baby. Pray also for God’s continued provision, as we are in our last few months of continued support. Thank You.
We covet your earnest prayers as we are approaching the National Day of Prayer on May 1. The event will be taking place on the Lawrenceville Lawn in Lawrenceville, Ga. I have been a court hall chaplain for 20 years, and all these years we have focused on praying for our county leadership by name. We have never before extended a personal invitation to all of the leadership for this one national event. Pray all 45 judges, five commissioners, five school board members, 17 mayors, and 400 churches will respond favorably to uniting with us in prayer for our county and nation.
I am leading nine members of our church and other churches on a two-week mission trip to Kenya and Uganda to plant churches and start businesses. Our hope is that those churches can be self-supporting. Pray God will lead this trip and that the power of His Holy Spirit will work in the lives of the people we will reach, as well as in each of us. Pray for favor while traveling by air and rough roads and for security while there. Lastly, pray many people will come to Christ through our efforts and for a mighty revival in Africa.
We thank the Lord for His love and mercy and pray for the Afghan people in our community. Pray I will be faithful to pray to the Lord on behalf of the Afghan church. Pray the Lord will provide for our church and our activities. Pray the Lord will provide more church partners.
