NAMB Prayer Requests
Pray the Lord will grow our work. Pray my wife, Madani, will have a complete recovery.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to pray for us. Your prayers mean everything to us. I want to start with a praise. During the past three weeks, we have had three baptisms—one was a 78-year-old man who had never followed through with baptism. Another was a lady who has a powerful testimony of God meeting her where she was. At the time, she was in a public restroom and was compelled to go to her knees and cry out to Jesus for the forgiveness of her sins. The other was a 12-year-old girl who, over church camp this year, realized that she had not fully put her trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Please pray for my wife. She works in a school. Pray she will have opportunities to be a light shining brightly for Jesus. Pray our church will continue to see spiritual growth. Pray for our community. According to the latest statistics, half of the residents in our community and county have zero affiliation with any faith-based organization or church. Pray people of The Bridge will boldly share the gospel. Pray for us the way the Spirit leads you to pray.
We thank God for the blessing of planting this church in the midst of the Hispanic community of our city. We thank God for the Vacation Bible School we were able to hold July 23–25 and for the 20 children who attended. We thank God for the eight children who prayed and asked the Lord to forgive their sins and invited Jesus to be their Savior. Pray the Lord will raise up workers among the new believers in the church and send workers who can support us in this demanding ministry. Pray for the fatherhood program we have been developing with the support of the Oklahoma State University, which has allowed us to connect with 27 men from the community and their families. May the Lord touch their hearts, and may they come to new life.
Recently, my sister in Pittsburgh passed away after falling down a flight of stairs, and several of my other family members are experiencing some serious health issues. Additionally, in April there was a police shooting in the continuing care retirement community where I work. All of these are taking a toll on me. I think I need to take a couple of days and get away to spend time with God and reconnect. Pray I will receive a refreshing from the Lord.
Pray that our house in Nevada will sell.
Pray God will help us to acquire a permanent worship place.
We are thankful to God for providing Bethany with a great job. She began teaching nursing full-time last month. We’re also thankful the Lord provided a reliable vehicle for our oldest son to help drive our kids to school, ball practices, etc. We’re asking God to help me complete military courses this fall and next spring.
