Please remember me in prayer this Friday, January 9. I will be having a bilateral nerve ablation in my back from L-3 down to S-1. Thank you!
Pray for our family and ministry. Pray we would have wisdom and guidance when ministering to our folks. Pray for the spiritual growth in our church plant.
Pray chaplains will be bold and courageous about sharing Christ.
We praise the Lord that the community is accepting of Brook and me and that we have been able to engage the city well. Though our church is growing, our attenders tend to attend services only once a week. Pray our congregation will understand that they are missing out on all God has for them by not gathering more than once a week. Also, we are looking for a worship leader. Pray the Lord will send the person He has for His church in Mountainburg, Ark.
My full-time employment with my secular employer was abruptly terminated. Please be in prayer for Cinnamon and me as we navigate this unforeseen time of change, seeking God’s will in all things. I recently began working part-time at a local funeral home, and I am following God’s calling by attending Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary full-time in the spring semester to obtain a master’s degree more quickly. Pray for comfort in knowing that God will provide all we need, as Scripture tells us in Matthew 6:33.
Pray that God will grant me the energy and a lengthy attention span as I work through a 6-month Dallas Theological Seminary Old Testament program.
Pray for our church plant. Two Muslims are attending our church who are natives of Bangladesh and India. Several non-believers and young Christians are also attending. This has been our vision to reach non-Christians, and God has been bringing them to us. Pray God will touch their hearts with His love and that they will embrace the gospel message.
Pray God will be glorified in my life. Pray for me as I navigate the requirements of being a Chaplain Candidate Program Officer (CCPO). This program enables me to complete my seminary studies and fulfill my military chaplain training simultaneously. Pray I can be physically, mentally, and spiritually prepared for the next steps. Pray I will manage my time well. Also, pray for my wife and kids as we all prepare for our next steps in ministry. Thank you!
Pray for spiritual and numerical growth within our church plant. Pray God will send partners.
Pray we will get a good response this month from the Hindi congregation. Pray that those attending will grow in their relationship with Christ Jesus. Pray for our good health, as we have been under the weather. Pray we will be healthy and active for ministry. Pray over our green card process as we await the date to submit our files for our green cards. Also, pray that God will provide for our needs.
Pray for my wife as she continues her education and pursues a new career path. Pray especially for her ongoing battle with anxiety and depression. Pray that the Lord would strengthen, comfort, and encourage her. Pray also for unity and wisdom in our marriage during this season. Pray also for our church as we enter a new chapter. Pray that God will be glorified in every step and that many more people will hear and embrace the gospel.
In January 2026, we are starting ministry in our new mission field—Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Pray we will have a smooth transition. Pray we will be able to rent out our home here in Oregon, that we can sell both of our cars, and that the Lord will send partners to join us in this new ministry. Thank you.
Lisa and I are waiting for our house to be completed after being damaged in a tornado in March. We will not likely get into the house until the end of January. It’s been a long road, but we are grateful. Pray for us as we wait patiently, and that we will have a smooth move-in day.
I am going on a mission trip to Havana, Cuba, February 21–27. We will be taking water filters and the gospel. Pray our ministry will be fruitful and that we will have safe travels. Pray also that my wife’s credentialing for her new job will go well.
