Printable Prayer Requests

Our church will celebrate its seventh anniversary during a week of conferences from July 12-19. Pray that God will bring some nonbelievers who will hear His Word.

Praise the Lord for open doors to provide children’s evangelistic outreach training in Biloxi and Gulfport! Praise the Lord for the interest among the churches in reaching children for Christ. Pray that God will provide at least three locations for children’s community outreach the week of July 20-24. Pray God will give Phil and me grace and wisdom in working with the local churches. Thank you for praying for the First Baptist Church of Biloxi Vacation Bible School (VBS). It was a HUGE success! Pray for First Baptist Church of Chalmette (Louisiana) VBS this week. Pray for evangelism catalyst Mya and her sister, Mia, as we work together to reach the little ones for Christ. Your prayers and support TRULY make a difference!

Pray for our support raising. Pray that the Lord would continue to provide financially and that we would reach 100% of our ministry support before the start of the fall semester. We desire to step onto campus fully focused on ministry, trusting in God’s faithful provision every step of the way. Pray for a healthy and Christ-centered marriage. As we prepare for our wedding on July 25 and begin this new season of life together, pray that we would build our marriage on the foundation of Christ. Ask God to protect us from burnout, help us maintain healthy rhythms of rest and dependence on Him, and grow us in unity, humility, and love as we navigate support raising, ministry, and married life together. Pray for the students we will serve. Pray that God would prepare the hearts of students at California Baptist University to hear and respond to the gospel. Ask that meaningful discipleship relationships would be formed, that students would come to faith in Christ, and that believers would be equipped to live boldly for Him and make disciples of others on campus and beyond.

Pray for us as we transition from military life into a new chaplaincy ministry. Pray that we will always follow Christ unconditionally and find a new local congregation. Pray for our three grown children and two grandchildren.

I recently lost my chaplaincy job here in Virginia. I need some prayers that a new job will present itself. I know that God has a plan for me to continue in this type of ministry. I am trying to process and move forward, but I know I need to forgive those involved in this situation so I can move forward. Pray for discernment as I contemplate starting a grief recovery company to help those dealing with grief and loss. This is something I have realized I am good at through my years as a chaplain. I have received comments on my 1:1 skills of dealing with grieving family members after the death of a loved one.

Pray that many more people in our community will come to faith in Jesus Christ and grow as His disciples. Pray that God will provide the financial resources needed for Faith Journey Church to continue reaching our community. As our start-up support decreases, pray that God will raise up more faithful monthly mission partners who will stand with us over the next two to three years. Pray that our family will remain faithful, healthy, and encouraged as we seek to serve Christ and love the people He has called us to reach.

Our church plant, Reach Fellowship Church, had our first preview service on July 5. As we grow, may God be glorified and people be edified. I pray this is the beginning of more disciples joining our fellowship, and us becoming stronger as a church. Pray that this time will bear fruit. Pray also that God will provide for our family in a very tangible way. We don’t want to suffer financial loss or strain as we follow God’s leading. Our petition is that the Lord will guard all that is ours (Psalm 16:5) and provide all our needs (Philippians 4:19).
