Pray for my wife, Myra. She has been dealing with intense migraine headaches for several years. Lately, the intensity of the headaches is increasing, and she has very little relief. It really is a daily battle. We have seen many doctors and specialists and have traveled across several states looking for help. We are asking that our brothers and sisters join us in prayer to the Great Physician for His healing. Thank you.
Thank you for all the prayers made toward finding a new kids’ ministry leader! A member from our church stepped up and will be taking over the ministry responsibilities from Erin. Pray for the Julien family as we prepare to welcome Baby J to the family this month. A local partner church, New Song Fellowship, has graciously donated some new chairs for our sanctuary. We have been using rented folding chairs. Now we are so blessed to have more comfortable seating for our congregation. We are planning to host a “Family Palooza” event next month for the community. Pray that many folks from the area will stop by and enjoy the festivities and also hear and experience the gospel. Pray for us about discipling the group of new believers the Lord brought into our care. 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 through God’s work in Christ. He is now leading His church for His glory!
We are changing duty stations to Quantico, Va. Pray for a smooth transition.
I’m Pastor Romany Abdalla, and my wife is Sister Rozan. We have been blessed with two sons, John and Christian. The Lord sent us to Canada to plant The Spring of Love Church in the Van Torrent area. Pray we will have a vision for our church and for our family. The Lord has blessed us with a group of people who are disciples and helpers in ministry. We serve the Lord together with our neighbors and the surrounding area. We gather from many backgrounds to proclaim, teach, and disciple that the Lord Jesus Christ is our Savior and that He is the only way, at the expense of His precious blood. We need prayer that the Lord may give us wisdom to serve and to win everyone to the kingdom. Also, pray that God will protect us as we serve and visit people of various religions who attend our church, including Hindus, Muslims, Jews, and devout Christians. We pray that everyone will be established in Christ Jesus, that the fruit of repentance will appear, and that they will grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. We pray that the Lord will give us a place to serve as we borrow the hall of the building where we live. There are challenges with the administration as we pray, sing, and gather as a church in the building. We also pray that the Lord will meet the needs of the ministry and the needs of the people, especially newcomers or refugees. We pray that the Lord will meet our needs as a family, as we serve the Lord all the time and have many needs, especially the expenses of the vehicle that we use to travel, visit, and serve the Lord and His people. We pray that the church will grow, that each member will become a disciple and servant, and that its branches will extend throughout Canada and even to the entire world, to the glory of God the Father through Christ Jesus our Lord, by the power of the Holy Spirit, one God. Your brother, Romany.
Pray for us as we desire to purchase a space for Kentucky Sacks of Love. Pray God will provide the resources to do so. Pray for us as we share the love of Christ through compassion ministry that those who are not believers will come to have a personal relationship with Christ. Pray more volunteers will join Kentucky Sacks of Love. Pray for our family as our daughter goes to college in August.
I recently moved from a position with a children’s hospital in Springdale, Ark., to serve as a hospice chaplain since last November. Before I started my new position with the hospice company, God provided me a much-needed season of renewal, healing, and refreshment. Our main prayer request is for our youngest daughter, who does not know the Lord Jesus. In August, she will move to college for her freshman year. Pray the Lord will touch her heart and that she will know Him. Also, please pray for our eldest daughter, who will be moving to Missouri to begin a paid internship for six months. Finally, pray for wisdom for my wife and me regarding the care of her mother, who has been living with our family since fall 2023. As her health continues to slowly decline, a decision will need to be made regarding next steps for her care in the future. We truly appreciate your ongoing prayers.
Pray for safe driving and travel. Pray for the continued establishment of a food hamper ministry for Indigenous communities and that the needed finances and supplies will be provided. Pray God will provide a pickup truck for ministry use. Seed money has been donated. Pray for the provision of a family vehicle as the previous one was a total loss after a car accident. Pray for our monthly prayer meetings. Pray we will have a successful summer ministry during the third and fourth weeks of July. We plan to spend time with the families we meet and go on about three outings to Banff and nearby parks for fellowship and healing. Pray for financial provision and volunteers. Our housing contract will end in December 2025. As Calgary faces a housing crisis, pray for God’s provision of a new place that is suitable for team building and ministry at an affordable price. Pray Sister J will receive God’s deep comfort and for the restoration of worship in her life. Pray Brothers A and K will overcome their sorrow with faith and be set free from addiction. Pray Sister R will feel God’s love, even in her loneliness and weariness. Pray Grandma S and her grandchildren’s health and that her son in prison will experience God’s comfort. Pray Brother J will manage well his new beginning with the Lord.
Pray for one of our church members. He now takes drugs and drinks beer. Because of that, he doesn’t attend church services and hasn’t attended in a year. We need your prayers. Thank you so much.
Pray we will be strong and consistent in focusing on winning the lost and discipling them. Pray God will give us true ministry leaders who will assist us in the church, like Moses and the 70 elders. Pray God will increase the souls in the church. Pray God will cause all Christians to become soul winners. Thank you very much for this opportunity to present prayer requests.
Pray we can find a worker for our oldest son, who has autism, is cognitive delayed, nonverbal, and incontinent.
I seek godly wisdom as I minister to local police officers, cadets and staff at the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy. Law enforcement is an incredibly difficult place to work. There is much spiritual darkness and oppression. This is the hardest work I have done in my more than 50 years of ministry. Pray God will open the spiritual eyes of law enforcement officers. Pray God will bring a spiritual awakening through our law enforcement departments across America, and may it begin in Portland, Tennessee!
Pray we would have a fruitful ministry for the rest of 2025, the successful completion of ongoing and upcoming military training, and that my wife, Bethany, will land a full-time position in Fayetteville, N.C. Thanks for your ongoing prayers and support!
Pray we will get our own building in which to have weekly services. Pray the Lord will give us the resources needed to continue our mission and to engage the entire city of Chicago.
My husband and I are walking alongside several people who are newly widowed or divorced, addicted to drugs, or have mental, emotional or physical health issues. Pray we will have God’s discernment, the wisdom of opening and closing doors, and to step out and speak boldly. May we serve in a manner that the love of Jesus is so sweet that others want to taste Him for themselves. Thank you for your prayers.
