Pray for the conversion of Ananth. Pray that our neighbors, friends, and acquaintances would say “yes” to invitations. Pray we will have favor with the area’s property owners so we will have a permanent home for Eastside Community Church. The season since we launched has been really full. Our tanks are getting empty. We need the Lord to supply what only He can. Pray that Jenny, my wife, and I will rest in the Lord.
Thanks to everyone who prayed for the sale of our house in Nevada. It sold, and we are settling into our new home in Tennessee, putting us twice as close to our church ministry.
Praise! It’s a joy to see God moving, saving, and changing lives in our church! He is always faithful! Pray for several things for our church. We continue to need new space. We are praying for the Lord to provide a low- or no-cost option that would allow us to have more space for discipleship opportunities. We are currently looking for a new worship leader for our church. Pray the Lord will reveal the right person for this role. In February, we launched a midweek gathering. Our people are desperate for more time in the Word. Due to scheduling challenges with the space we use, we launched it in our home. Pray for all the details for that. We are praying about launching another service or church in the area to reach another part of our city, specifically for a location that would give us our own space to launch a midweek meeting. Spiritual darkness seems to have ramped up. Pray we stay out of the way of the Holy Spirit as He defends, leads, and saves! Pray for provision to meet the very demanding needs of our population and city.
Pray for the success of our church-planting ministry. Pray for the faithfulness of the members who gather. Pray they will grow in quality and quantity. Pray we will have partners in this work. Pray we will be courageous and wise and inspire many to reach others.
Pray that we impact our community by sharing the gospel, making disciples, and being salt and light. We are a small but passionate church. We need additional funding. Pray for financial partnerships from individuals and churches who can rally around us as we continue our church plant in year two.
Pray for our children as they continue to struggle to adjust to life in Washington. Pray that they will make faithful friends at school. Pray for our ministry as we plan Easter events.
We ask God to prepare us to do more in His kingdom and to strengthen us as we go through this year. We ask that He would send more laborers into the vineyard. We ask for a place of worship of our own so we may train more disciples for service.
Pray God will provide a 20-foot trailer for transporting mobile church equipment.
Pray for the growth of our church. Pray for harmony within our church and with our community. Pray we will be wise in deciding how to transport some of our members who do not have a vehicle, especially single mothers. Pray that the Lord will raise up helpers for our English language, sewing, and life skills classes for adults. Pray that the Holy Spirit will give us wisdom to face the challenges that come with new church plants.
Pray that my wife, Iris, will have good physical health. Pray that my growing church will have wisdom and guidance. Pray for the Hispanic community in Avilla, Missouri.
We humbly ask for your prayers for the growth of our church. May the Lord strengthen our community, draw new souls, and help us grow spiritually in unity, love, and faith. May every ministry bear good fruit, and may all that we do be for the glory of God. We also ask for prayer for the protection of our families. May God watch over every home, grant peace, health, love, and wisdom, and protect us from all dangers, both seen and unseen. May His presence remain at the center of our families, today and always. Pray for my family and our church as we plan to plant a new church this year.
We thank the Lord for the successful launch of our ministry and for the joy of witnessing our first three baptisms the day before. We also praise God for the new believers and newcomers who publicly expressed their desire to make this church their new spiritual home. This was far beyond what we anticipated, and we give all glory to God as we celebrate one year since our incorporation. We also give thanks for the support of the Canadian National Baptist Convention and the Send Network family. Their encouragement, ministry resources, and ongoing support have been a true blessing to us during this foundational season of our church. We are grateful to be part of a family that is committed to seeing churches planted and the gospel advance across Canada. Pray that God will continue to guide, sustain, and strengthen our young ministry. Ask the Lord to open doors for meaningful gospel impact in our community and to transform many more lives through the message of Jesus Christ. Pray that our congregation will grow in spiritual depth, unity, and discipleship, and that we will reach out boldly as we serve newcomers, families, and believers seeking a home church. We currently meet in a community center that holds only about 50 people. Our regular attendance is around 40 members, but we often exceed capacity when everyone is present and when visitors join us. We are walking by faith, seeking a location that is open to churches (a challenge in our area) and can accommodate our growing congregation and host our community outreach programs, including our basic English and computer skills classes for newcomers. Despite reaching out to the city for support, finding a larger, stable, and affordable space has been difficult. Finally, pray that God — the One who can do what no man can do — will open the right door, provide the financial resources, and lead us to the place He has prepared for us. Thank you for praying with us and standing with our ministry as we continue to trust the Lord in every step ahead.
We are grateful for the grace of God. We are praying for His guidance and protection as we engage our city and win more souls for His kingdom. We ask the Lord to empower us by His Holy Spirit and lead us in every step. May His will be done through our lives. Amen.
We are praying to buy or build our own worship center (church). Pray God will provide.
