NAMB Prayer Requests
I am working with Andrea, a new nurse practitioner. She is beginning her practice, and I have been transferred to her. Pray that we will minister to the needs of each patient whom God brings to the office. Pray for my church, First Baptist Church, as we plan outreach ministries for the coming year.
Pray for my family and me. I am preparing to start a new job and will relocate in the next few months, where I will be deployed to later this year. Pray that my children will have some stability and consistency throughout the deployment. Pray that my wife, Tristan, and I will navigate the transition well. Also, pray for Tristan as she will be a single parent for most of the year.
We received word that we are moving to Japan this summer. We now have two weeks to downsize our RV at Fort Jackson to ensure we meet the weight criteria. Pray about the stress of all this, that we would rest and trust in God, and for the joy to come in Japan.
I have applied to the local sheriff’s department for a chaplain position. Pray that the Lord will open this door.
Recently, I have been battling hip and leg pain that has been crippling at times. It’s possibly a labrum tear; I don’t know yet. I have to get an MRI. Pray the Lord would give me the strength to minister to people whom He’s put in my path, especially when the pain is intense, and I want to wrap it up and just go home. Thank you for your prayers.
In 2026, we are asking God to bring 20 new families with children and 15 new college students to The Church at Morgantown. We are praying that God will allow us to baptize 20 people. We are also asking Him to provide a building in which we can meet. On a personal note, I am asking God to allow me to lead three people to Christ through my chaplaincy or other relationships with those I am sharing Jesus with.
Grace and peace! We have two requests. Our youngest son is wrestling with his faith during this church-planting journey. He came to us this past month, saying he just doesn’t know if God is real. He is dealing with a crisis of belief. He has moved four times and four schools in the past three years with our church plant, and he has not seen God answer many of his prayers. He seeks friendship and direction in life. We lift him up daily. He is very close to us and is still open to family devotionals and serving in our church, but he is struggling with his faith. Second, we are six months into our church plant and need to secure office space, storage, and additional meeting space for sports ministry, youth ministry, and outreach. The costs are substantial, but we are trusting that new doors of outreach are opening. We desire to move through them, trusting our heavenly Father will meet the added expenses.
