Pray God will bless our community sports camp and block party which will be held June 5–8. We hope to connect with about 1,000 people. Pray we share boldly and make meaningful connections.
Pray we would continue to make connections with Spanish families. The Lord has given us opportunities to meet with at least 12 new families. We want to share the good news of the gospel and find ways to serve them. I am currently in the Dominican Republic because my mother is not doing well physically. I am spending some time with her and the family together. Please pray for my mother’s health and that God would bless this time with family.
Please pray for our group as we head off to CentriKid in June and as we conduct Vacation Bible School at the end of June.
Our church is sponsoring a new prison ministry we have developed. The name of the ministry is “HOPE” (Helping Others Prepare 4 Eternity). We will be meeting with inmates in a local prison facility for the first time as a group on June 5. God has opened the door for us to serve at this facility, and we covet your prayers. Blessings and thank you for praying (Hebrews 6:10).
My lovely wife, Samone, is pregnant with twins—again! We have three wonderful children—Jude, Olivia and Jeremiah. Please pray for them and Samone as she goes through this pregnancy. Pray the children will be healthy as they grow and develop. Pray our children will accept Christ and for all of us as we await new orders for June of 2024.
I will soon retire from the U.S. Army Reserve after 23 years of service. I am 57, and TRICARE for Life does not start until age 60. My wife and I will both be without insurance. Please pray God will provide for our medical needs as we wait for my military retirement pay to start. This is a scary time, and we are trusting God to see us through. Also, pray for my daughter who is struggling through the breakup of a relationship.
Please pray for me as I work to complete my board certification process. I still have a lot of work to do and not a lot of time to get it done. I want to make the best use of the weeks I have left before the due date arrives. I also want to be able to provide quality assignments that reflect what I have learned thus far. Thank you!
Please pray for Alice (not her real name), who is a new and recently baptized believer. She is having family problems and is moving to another state to live with her son. Pray for Tom who lost his wife last summer and is still having difficulty dealing with her death. Tom has been out of prison since 2012. He became a believer 10 years before finishing a 25-year sentence. Pray also for Priscilla and me as we deal with the health challenges of my 92-year-old mom. She moved to an assisted living facility almost two years ago. We praise our Lord that her mind is strong, but she needs prayer as her body is frail.
Please pray for our 27-year-old daughter as she recovers from recent total hip replacement. We are caring for her until she can care for herself.
Please pray for the successful opening of the church in Chicago’s South Side June 4. Also, pray for our first annual backpack giveaway, which is scheduled for August 5.
Please pray for me as an SBC-endorsed Civil Air Patrol chaplain in Idaho. Pray also for my ministry as a Christian reporter in the White House press pool. Pray I would have opportunities to share Jesus with my fellow reporters and the president’s press staff.
Pray that through the Mosaic Culture Festival, which will be held on May 27, more ethnic groups in the city will be connected to each other. Pray these groups will also attend the New Life Festival on October 28. Please pray God will provide the three executives and five members required for the 12 Stones Club to become a registered club at Centennial College and work to plant a campus church. Eight registered students are required. Pray the gospel will be effectively shared among newcomers through the English as a Second Language ministry. Pray this ministry will be the catalyst for ethnic church planting in Toronto.
Pray the work our church is doing in our community would yield fruit and that the Lord would provide for the needs of our family.
Please pray for the children of my cousin, Heather Lee Strieb. Heather died on April 14 of heart failure. She leaves behind a 12-year-old daughter and a 4-year-old son. This is such a sad death. Thank you for your prayers.
