We have placed our special-needs son, Shane, on hospice. We made this decision with understanding and love. He has had a wonderful life and knows the Lord. It is time for him, and we place him in God’s hands. His siblings are coming in to visit him and have closure. Please pray that we as parents will have loving wisdom, support, and understanding, as all of us say our earthly farewells.
Dear brother and sisters, continue praying for us that God may open doors. After teaching the Bible to a small group for a long time, we finally had our first baptism this past summer. Pray for strength and health for my wife, Ana, my son, Aaron, and me. We ask for your urgent prayers that the Lord may provide us with resources, as we are working with only 30 percent of our budget.
We are in the midst of doing our biggest outreach yet. We are giving every teacher in Lynn public schools (a total of about 2,400 people) a bagel breakfast in partnership with a local cafe called One Mighty Mill. We gathered 30 people from the community to deliver and serve the teachers. We pray this opportunity to serve will open opportunities to share and that people will be called to join our launch team so we can see the city of Lynn navigate toward Jesus and one another.
Pray our team will remain steadfast and strong in the Lord and continue evangelizing and making disciples. Our community has a big fall festival coming up. They have asked us to help run it, so this is a great connection point to our community. Pray hearts will be soft toward Jesus and that we will make new connections and relationships.
We are seeing some amazing things right now. We launched in February 2024 and are currently seeing around 400 in average attendance as of October 2025. We have seen 80 baptisms this year so far, with many young adults and young families coming to Jesus; however, our church needs prayer for one specific trend we are seeing. We are noticing that some of our early members are struggling to appreciate the recent growth in our church and the amount of energy it takes in a portable church. Thus, several have decided that they would prefer to either watch online, attend a more established church, or go to a smaller church. Subsequently, this has put us in a position where we are the largest we’ve ever been, but our offerings have dipped significantly. We are praying that God would send people who have a clear call from God to contribute their lives, which includes their energy, time, prayers, and finances.
Pray for my dad. He is in urgent need of a liver transplant. We’re asking for healing, strength and peace during this difficult time and that a suitable donor would be found quickly. Pray also for wisdom and guidance for his medical team and comfort for our family as we walk through this together.
Pray for my family and me during this deployment. Pray our love and connection to my wife and kids will grow despite the miles of separation. Pray I will have divine appointments with our Soldiers. Pray my chaplain craft and skills will improve. Pray God will heal my kids, who have severe medical conditions, and that they will have no major medical issues.
Our church plant, Hope Church Robinson, will soon have to leave our current meeting space, which is in an existing church. We will start meeting in the local school, so we really need a mobile church setup, such as a trailer, sound, chairs, kids’ supplies, etc. Ask God to provide what is needed and bless our new facilities.
I am on a mission trip to Uganda and Kenya from now until November 4. Pray our mission will be fruitful and that God will protect me and the team I am traveling with. The ministry is called Love Africa Missions.
Pray for continued healing for me with prostate cancer. Also, my 95-year-old mother-in-law is dealing with slight dementia and has been diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time.
Pray also for a family in our congregation whose daughter has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that is now metastatic. Thank you!
First and foremost, thank you for your faithful prayers. Your partnership is a vital part of this church plant, and we are deeply grateful. As we continue building a Hispanic ministry in Cartersville, we ask for your prayers in the following areas: For the families in crisis—may God bring healing, provision, and reunification. For our Middle School Bible Club teens, pray these young hearts would be transformed by the Word and become bold witnesses in their schools and homes. For the inmates in the Bartow County jail, may we have open doors to minister and that lives will be changed by the power of the gospel.
My brother, Jackie, recently had prostate surgery. My wife’s brother has been diagnosed with bladder cancer. He is currently taking chemo treatments to make sure the cancer hasn’t spread to other parts of his body. After the chemo treatments, it will be determined what will be removed. Pray that the Lord will heal these men and touch them in a special way.
Pray for our new church plant. May God be glorified and many souls come to the knowledge of His truth.
Please continue to pray for my adult children—Thaddeus, Jeremiah and Chelsi, and Starr and Ryan. Each one has unique challenges. Also, pray the movement of the Holy Spirit we had at a conference on October 11 will continue.
