My mother has incurable cancer and will need an expensive treatment for the rest of her life. My prayer is that the Lord will perform a miracle and heal her completely and provide for her treatment so that the illness will not create havoc in her life. Please support me in prayer. Also, pray God will provide for my family and my daughter’s studies. I very much appreciate your prayers.
Fellow pastor/elder Jonathan and I are in church planting residency. Pray for us as we pray and craft a residency curriculum for people who are interested in the multiplication efforts of our church. Continue to pray we will have more volunteers for our kids ministry. We are passionate that folks won’t have to serve more than once a month. The more volunteers we have, the more we can keep that rhythm. Remember to pray for those who are serving overseas, including one of our members, John. Continue to pray for us as our pastors hold membership interviews with those interested in covenanting with the church. Join us in praying according to Ephesians 1:17, that we be filled with wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Jesus. That gives us hope in this difficult work, as we remember that Christ is leading His church and all is for His glory!
Pray we will have wisdom this new year in order to guide God’s people to carry out His plan and purpose. Pray for my family, for protection and encouragement to continue to do God’s work here in Cincinnati, Ohio. Pray for our housing situation. Our house is about 50 minutes to an hour from our church building. I would like to better minister to our people by being much closer to them. Pray for spiritual growth in my life and in our church.
We are serving the First Nations of Canada. This ministry has a highly missional aspect and approach, distinct from regular church planting. The First Nations have a tragic history and have often been opposed to Christianity. They are among the most marginalized and hidden people in North America and in need of reconciliation. We are passionate about serving them with God’s Word because it has the power to save and transform lives. Pray for our daily spirituality and our devotional life of reading God’s word and praying. Pray for family relationships. Pray for the 15 families we are meeting with about addiction, grief and financial problem issues. Pray for the provision of the pickup truck for ministry needs as we travel. Pray for safety traveling. Pray for the establishment of co-laborers in ministry, teams such as a food bank, outreach, emergency response and an intercessory prayer team.
We recently started our Church Connect Group. This will be the first regular meetings of our church as we develop our core team for future stages of the church plant. Pray individuals will be discipled, that leaders will be multiplied, and that the community will be touched through the coming outreach events.
My daughter is being treated for cancer. Pray for the doctors as they treat her and that her body will respond to the treatments. Pray she will have peace beyond understanding.
Our church is moving into a new building. Pray the moving process will go well, that there will be no financial difficulties and that the church becomes a missionary church that evangelizes, saves and trains disciples. Thank you.
Pray my light for Jesus will shine brighter than ever before in 2025 so all employees and our community will see. Thank you for your prayers.
I praise and thank God that we have this venue where our church plant can freely send prayer requests and there are so many of us lifting together these requests. Day by Day Christian Ministries will have an evangelism event on February 15, through “Love via Satellite,” which is Day by Day’s Family and Friends Love Month. Pray a harvest of souls will be added to God’s kingdom. Pray the Word will be shared and bring spiritual and emotional healing. Pray many unchurched or unbelieving will come, hear, and be touched by His Word. Pray that more will submit to water baptism. Pray members will be faithful and generous in their giving so we can share in God’s mission.
We praise God for a successful community gathering on the last Sunday of 2024. God has been increasing our numbers. Pray for our planned mission trip to Kenya, June 13–25. We are trusting God will provide for the funds and believers who desire to travel with us.
Join us in thanking God for planting His church in Moreno Valley and for His presence thus far. Pray for God’s continued protection and provision. Pray for unity, love and encouragement among the brethren. Pray the people of Moreno Valley will be receptive to the gospel message of our Savior Jesus Christ. Pray God will grant us all that we ever need to serve this year. Pray for an increase in membership and faithful disciples as the harvest is plenty and a few laborers. We held our first Christmas toy drive on December 15, 2024. Two hundred and fifty came and 56 souls gave their lives to Christ. Several of them pledged to be part of Hope Church. Pray God will bring the increase. Pray for faithful partners who will support God’s work, financially and prayerfully. We are in dire need of churches and individuals as partners to support God’s church in Moreno Valley. Pray God will provide a home/place for Hope Church in southeast Moreno Valley, as we are currently renting a school hall. This limits us on what we can do. Pray for the continued presence and leading of the Holy Spirit at Hope Church Moreno Valley. Pray God’s peace will dwell with my wife and three children, as we run the race. Ask God to grant us the grace to finish well for His glory.
Dawn and I came home after visiting our kids in Kentucky and have COVID-19. Pray for light symptoms and a quick recovery. Also, Hospice of Marion County is in need of two chaplains. Pray God will bring the appropriate persons who have a passion to minister to those who are terminally ill. Thank you.
Just prior to Christmas, we found out that Megan’s mom, Maggie, had kidney cancer and doctors had to remove her kidney. Pray for Maggie as she convalesces. About that same time, we found out that my stepmom, Pam, was found to have two different kinds of cancer in her lungs and will require surgery. Pray for the doctors as they treat Pam and that she will lean heavily on God. Also, pray for an elderly widow, who is part of our church plant. Her husband was murdered 15 months ago when he was incarcerated. The court proceedings are now upon us, and we are her only means of support and transportation to court. The young man who initially admitted to the killing is only 29 and is unsaved. Please pray for his salvation and peace for this widow.
I was commissioned with the Georgia Air National Guard in September of last year. On February 11, I am going to officer training school and will be there for eight weeks. I covet your prayers for strength, both physical and mental, to complete this requirement to remain on the mission field. My wife, Katie, also needs prayer as this will be the first time we’ve been apart for more than a few days since we got married. We both need to be covered in God’s love and mercies as we navigate this time apart. Thank you!
