NAMB Prayer Requests
Pray that the Lord grants favor to hire another chaplain for our service. We have been short-staffed for a few years now, and we are missing many opportunities as a result. Pray that the leaders at the Chillicothe VA Medical Center will see the need.
Pray for me as I lead a team refresh and cast a new vision for the National Association of Resort and Leisure Ministers. In October 2026, I will be hosting the resort ministry conference in the Smoky Mountains and need prayer for planning, creativity, effective communication, and financial resources. We desire to use this conference to inform and equip church members from across the country to see places of leisure and lifestyle (parks, lakes, destination resorts, sports/recreation, etc.) as spaces where God is at work. Please join us in praying for churches to participate in this conference. Pray that people will be intrigued and that the association will be effective in inspiring churches to see new ministry opportunities.
Pray that we will have a missional impact on the boys we have met through our Little League. Pray we will have opportunities and the courage to step into them. Pray for conversions. Pray for a future space for Eastside. The lease at the school we currently gather in will be up in September. We need to hear from the Lord on what to do and where to go.
Pray that the Lord will send five to 10 more households for our core team. Ask God to send faithful Christians who are excited about making disciples in the city. Our core team has been sharing the gospel in the city. Pray that the ones we have been conversing with will convert to Christianity. Pray also that God will give us wisdom as we finalize details to begin Sunday worship this fall.
Pray we can go to two services and proclaim the gospel to more and more people in our city. Jesus is worthy, and so many people need the gospel of Jesus Christ. May He bless the work of our hands as we work outside the four walls of the church for gospel outreach, and that Jesus would draw all men unto Himself!
Pray that the Hispanic community in this city will open their hearts to Jesus Christ.
Pray for my wife’s health. Pray for wisdom as we raise our oldest child biblically. My wife and I have both been feeling stressed and tired from the many changes and challenges we have gone through over the past few months. We are longing for rest and joy in the Lord. Pray that God will give us those. We also need God’s guidance for our future and next steps. I recently visited Korea to support my father during his heart surgery. Pray for his healing and, most importantly, for his salvation. Pray God will guide us as we participate in an international mission. Pray for the people we are meeting who are struggling with addiction and financial issues.
