Latest Prayer Requests (Print Version)

Please join us in prayer as we celebrate our three-year anniversary as a church. We are grateful for all God has done and excited for what He is still going to do. This year is also a significant one for us financially, as we are losing two major ministry partners. We ask for prayer that God would provide for every need, open new doors of provision, and strengthen our faith to trust Him fully. Continue to pray for our leadership, for wisdom and discernment in every decision, and for our church organization as we steward resources with excellence and integrity. Lift up my family as well, asking for God’s protection, peace, and strength as we serve together. Finally, pray that we would remain focused on meeting the needs of our community and faithfully sharing Christ, trusting that God will use us to impact lives for His glory.

We need one or two mature American Christians who are willing to commit to assisting us with our youth ministry. Pray that the Lord will raise them up.

I need God’s guidance to focus on the right places and people in my city and community to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and to expand the kingdom of God. Our church is located in a warehouse, and we need to leave it. Our movements don’t bring the fruits we’re dreaming of because of where we’re located. We’re very hopeful that God will make a way!

I am church planter Jiuyang Zhu, currently serving in northern Virginia. I humbly ask brothers and sisters to pray for our upcoming official worship services, for the prayer group we have already established, and for our small group Bible studies. Pray also for the Chinese community in our area. Pray that the Lord would open doors for the gospel and grant opportunities to share His good news. In addition, I would greatly appreciate your prayers for my family. Thank you all so much!

Pray that God would grant us favor with the community and enable us to connect with the families living around the church. Pray for resources, as we are in a city with a high poverty area with families who lack resources. Pray that we may share the gospel boldly and that people receive the message of salvation.

I am very thankful to those who have supported me and continue to support me. Pray that the church will grow and that we will have more gospel opportunities. Pray that we will be able to make use of Christian online resources, such as websites, music, or videos like TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook. Pray that we can pay off our debt. Pray that the Lord will provide my wife with a better job.

My wife, Jennifer, and I felt called by God to plant a new church in Cedar Falls, Iowa — just a few miles from where I grew up. By God’s grace, the church experienced tremendous growth during our first year. We saw more than 100 salvations and celebrated more than 40 baptisms. It was an incredible season of life-change and excitement. However, we quickly realized that while we had gathered a crowd, we had not yet built a strong foundation of mature believers equipped to disciple others and help carry the work of ministry. Pray for our family, our church, and for God to provide wisdom and a sustainable strategy to move the ministry forward.
