Pray for protection for our family from evil, sickness, and harm. Pray for our eldest daughter, Annabelle, as she prepares to enter the Journeymen process. Pray for divine appointments and for the ability to reach the communities of Grayling and Rogers City. Pray for vision for new ways to meet people and to share the gospel.
Pray for me, my family, and my church as I begin the Chaplain Basic Officer Leadership Course (CHBOLC). CHBOLC is a three-month military training program that started in January 2026. Pray for favor in connecting with soldiers at the Army Military Police Unit where I serve.
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We would like to humbly share two prayer requests with you and ask for your support before the Lord. First, pray for our family. I serve as a bivocational pastor to provide for our household. My wife is currently seeking employment, and we are praying for God’s guidance and provision and that He would open the right door for her in His perfect time. Second, pray for our church, especially for our families who have children. We are thankful for the children God has already entrusted to us, but there are very few of them. Our children long for fellowship with peers — to grow, learn, and walk with Christ together. We pray that the Lord will bring families with children into our church, so the next generation may be nurtured in faith and love. We are deeply grateful for your prayers and partnership in the gospel. May the Lord richly bless you and your church.
Pray for us as we transition into our new mission field in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia. We ask for a smooth transition and for wisdom and grace as we settle into this new season of ministry. We would also appreciate prayers as we continue raising financial support, trusting the Lord to provide faithfully. We praise God for His incredible provision in securing an apartment in Langley just 48 hours before our move from Portland, Oregon. His timing has been perfect. Pray for creativity and discernment as we seek meaningful ways to serve our city, build genuine relationships, and make strong connections within the community. Thank you for standing with us in prayer.
Pray for the Lord’s will regarding a potential move from our current rental space at a middle school cafeteria, where we have access for only four hours per week on Sunday mornings. We hope to move to a commercial space with 24/7 access in a better location and with much more functional usage. Pray we will reach an agreement on an offer, and pray that God’s provision will cover the increase in the monthly rent.
Pray for the healing of my sister, Lisa. She has brain cancer and recently underwent surgery and is struggling. Pray also for the protection of our church plant and that God will bring the right people He wants to help lead it. Pray that God will bless our church and the nearby churches that preach the name of Jesus. Pray there will be a revival like none we have ever seen before. Thank you so much.
Pray for Sonia’s health as she is very fatigued and can’t sleep.
We have an important meeting coming up with an existing church to discuss merging our respective churches. I would then be installed as the senior pastor. This merger would allow us to have a church building and other assets in a strategic area where buildings are hard to come by. Pray God would direct our path with the potential merger.
My son does not want to continue on to college nor seek direction. I believe it’s spiritual warfare. Pray the Lord will guide us. Our church launches on February 15, and we are praying that God will move, change lives, and increase our commitment.
Currently, Neighborhood Churches, a ministry of Grace Harbor Church, is under contract to purchase a church building in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. This church will be a new church plant to reach a new neighborhood in the New Bedford area. We are praying that the funding for the new church site will be paid in full at the time of closing. We are currently 50% funded and need the remaining funds to close on March 1. Pray the funds will be provided!
We praise God for the uptick in overall attendance, especially for the increase in children and students, people joining, and baptisms. Pray that our current guests will join our church and plug in faithfully. Pray that more third-generation, disciple-making groups will start. Pray more people will be saved and that more gospel conversations will be initiated by our folks. Pray for God’s blessing as I travel to Kenya in July to train other pastors in theological and pastoral education and skills. Pray for families who have lost loved ones, especially for a young couple who lost their 8-week-old son. Pray God’s leaders will be identified and empowered to serve in our congregation. Pray for a close family member who is going through a divorce. My oldest son, who is completing our disciple-making process and is looking to start his own group to disciple. Pray for my wife, who has the flu. We are training and employing a new crop of deacons to serve and minister, especially toward evangelism and making disciples. Pray God will guide our efforts. We would like to start a prayerwalking ministry. Pray God will raise up one or two people to spearhead a community ministry effort. Pray for God’s guidance as we seek a music leader for our worship service.
We are praising God for recent conversions, baptisms, and discipleship. First, pray that a couple will not convert to the Eastern Orthodox Church and that we would have the wisdom to dissuade them. Second, pray the Lord will provide financial support for our 2026 budget so we can continue to afford to meet where we do. Pray our congregation will be moved to give sacrificially with cheerful hearts and that we might also receive generous external gifts. Also, pray that we would be wise stewards of whatever God provides.
Be in prayer for the salvation of our two youngest children. Both continue to struggle with mental health issues, and our daughter tried to overdose before Thanksgiving just last year. Both desperately need the hope that the Lord Jesus offers. Also, be in prayer for our family as my mother-in-law moves back into our home after spending months in skilled rehab. We are trusting the Lord for a smooth transition. Thank you for your prayers and support.
I was diagnosed with cancer in October 2025. It was successfully removed, and I didn’t have to go through any further treatment. Pray that everything remains clear. A guy who has been my right-hand man since we planted just joined the Marines and left the church. It is going to be hard to replace him. Pray others will step up to fill the void he left.
