NAMB Prayer Requests
We have two prayer requests. First, pray that our core team will continue to deepen in their knowledge, faith, and dedication to the Lord for the work we have been called to. Second, our family will be traveling home to visit family in a couple of weeks. Pray it will be a sweet time and that we can rest and be encouraged during our time there.
Pray we will have strength in the Lord as we enter our one-year anniversary. Pray for my wife’s healing from her back surgery. Continue praying that our mission will grow and spread throughout Prince Frederick. Pray the gospel will be received and that people will be transformed.
It’s the start of a new season in the greenhouses in Leamington. Leamington holds the distinction of being the largest concentration of greenhouses in North America. We are again expecting to welcome thousands of migrant workers across Latin America, the Caribbean Islands, and Asia, who will work as farm workers for the next eight months to two years. Pray we will be able to bring the good news of the gospel among these migrant workers. Also, pray God will send a Spanish-speaking worker who can minister to our Latino community.
Pray for my local church that is struggling with age and health-related issues. There is a spirit of discouragement. Pray we will navigate to a new vision of God’s purpose for our church.
Pray Jesus Christ will be glorified. Pray we will grow in devotion to God, that Denise will be healed from cancer, and that souls will be saved. Pray God will assemble a core team for our church plant in Conshohocken.
We are planning a block party on June 7. Pray for God’s guidance in this process of planning and for the volunteers. Pray that God will prepare the hearts of the people so that they will be ready for the harvest during this event. Pray for Ed. We shared the gospel with him. Pray God will open a door to connect with him. We are building relationships with Indian families in Flower Mound. Pray God will use us as witnesses of the gospel among them. Pray the right people will join our team—those who are called, gifted, and aligned with the vision. We’re asking God to bring individuals who have hearts to serve, lead, and build together in unity.
I want to thank all who reached out to me with my last prayer request. This year has been a challenge; however, I am back in top form. In January and February, I had two cataract surgeries. Also, I was deployed twice to the LA fires. The depth of trauma these dear people endured is difficult to describe, and it left me rather drained. After my second surgery, my husband and I got sick, which kept us down for five weeks. I am back to work at Bakersfield Police Department, and it is such a blessing to minister. I am continually amazed how God is using this ministry and so very grateful that He chose me. A special thanks to Dr. Brent Bond at the North American Mission Board for your letter of encouragement you emailed to me. You mentioned the word resiliency. That was exactly the word I needed to hear at that time when I was overwhelmed. Thank you to all who will pray for me to bounce back after helping those with deep trauma, grief, and crisis.
