Pray for the numerical growth of our church, Day by Day Christian Ministries. Praise God that one of our members declared that Jesus is her Lord and Savior and is following in obedience to water baptism. Pray we will have a glorious fourth anniversary celebration on September 21. Pray for our preparation and that many will be saved. Pray our members will invite friends to our family camp event and evangelism outreach. Pray we will become more like Christ. Pray our members will be generous givers. Pray for wisdom, guidance, direction, and good health for me and my wife as we lead our church, for His glory.
Pray for the immigrants in our community. Many are afraid to go out or open their doors, which is hindering our evangelistic activities.
Our church plant is in a small town and is only one and one-half years old. We are getting people who have been hurt in churches that are outside the SBC. Pray God will bring healing through their walk with Him and give me wisdom to best minister to them. We are also praying for younger families. This year, we have a great group of ladies who volunteer each Monday as we serve meals to the kids in our city. Pray our volunteers will recognize opportunities to share about Jesus with them and see life change. Pray for my wife, Christian. She works so hard and then comes home to serve alongside me. Pray she gets the rest she needs, and pray I can lead my family well. Thank you for your time and prayers.
At this very special and unique time in our lives, we need to make some significant decisions. After our time at United City Church in Humble, Texas, we have been called to move to Brooklyn, N.Y., which is a drastic change for us as a family. Therefore, we need your prayer support to confirm that planting a church in New York is right for us and according with God’s will. We also need prayer that our green card will arrive soon. We have had a religious visa approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services since September 2022, but since that time, the permanent residency process for religious individuals has been affected.
Pray God will provide us a place in which to live. We would like to live close to the place of our ministry, but the requirements for renting are above our budget. Pray God will supply beyond our expectations.
Pray we will have favor with the Dickinson Independent School District in order to rent long term. Pray new people will be added to our church each week. Pray people who are far from God will join us and begin following Jesus.
We will have a week of revival from July 13–20, 2025. Pray this week will be a fruitful time for our church. Pray we will grow spirituality and in numbers as we celebrate our fifth anniversary.
Pray our staff missionaries will be able to raise their support and then some before the fall academic semester kicks off at the end of August. One missionary is at 98% and the other is at 59%.
Pray God will prepare leaders who will help my wife and me with discipleship. There is a great need and many people who are willing to disciple, but Alejandra and I are at capacity with family, ministry and jobs.
Some baseball families have been coming to our church. This has been an amazing breakthrough into the community as we are seeing God’s work. Pray I will lead well through the busy summer full of missions teams, gospel conversations, and tasks.
Pray I am able to balance my time between finishing my master’s degree in chaplaincy in ministry care from Dallas Theological Seminary, for transitioning to leadership in the chaplain network and taking on the expansion of The Navigators ministry.
This is an update on the condition of my son, Daniel, after the removal of a baseball-sized tumor on his brain. He is now home from MD Anderson Medical Center in Houston, Texas. He has not had any kind of treatment since the successful surgery to remove the malignant brain tumor on March 26. The MRI and other tests at MD Anderson showed that the tumor has not grown back and the area is stable, praise God! Pray for Daniel and Daniella, his wife, as they consider and pray about the recommended protocols of chemotherapy and radiation to make sure the tumor does not return. The next MRI will be in two months.
My fiancée, Lucy, and I are getting married in mid-July. Though it’s an exciting time for us, it is also prime time for the enemy to attack us and create chaos in our community. This week in particular we received news that my soon-to-be grandmother-in-law was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Additionally, my best man was notified that he is up for deployment, if the Air Force chooses to send him. As our Christian family, would you join Lucy and me as we pray for God’s provision in each of these situations? Specifically, pray for the provision of healing for Lucy’s “Granny.” For my best man, pray God will allow my best man to be at my wedding. Above all else, pray that the will of the Lord is accomplished.
Ask God to make us a house of prayer and give us wisdom on the rhythms of prayer and fasting as a body. Ask God to help us engage our city during the summer months so we would see more lives transformed and people baptized. Ask God to give me wisdom in leading and building kingdom partnerships throughout our city.
