NAMB Prayer Requests
The holiday season was tough with numerous health challenges for ourselves as a family and our congregation. My son has a genetic disorder that causes him periodic pain crisis. Pray for health, mercy, and restoration. Pray over a couple of open leadership positions at our church plant that we need to fill. Pray for wisdom for strategic decisions in 2026, and pray for our new community development ministry — LoveWell Houston — as we reach those at risk and in jeopardy for all types of human trafficking.
On Saturday, February 7, our church and Send Relief will be impacting our community and sharing God’s love and Word with the neighbors around our church. We need your prayer support so the Lord may touch the hearts of this neighborhood.
Pray God will transform the city of Remerton into a city of joy manifested in people hearing, rejoicing, and honoring the Word of the Lord and that it will spread from South Georgia to the ends of the world (Acts 13:48-49). Pray for our 2026 goals, including bonding as a congregation, developing a men’s ministry, establishing four rounds of small groups in 2026, and connecting with the residents in our community through the couples conference, our Easter outreach, and summer events.
Our church plant will start on March 1. Our family is experiencing temptation and spiritual attacks the closer and closer we get. Pray for our perseverance and endurance. May we stand in the love of Christ and the confidence of His grace.
Pray that the recent outreaches we conducted were effective. Several Hindu families visited a Christian church building for the first time. Pray we will have meaningful conversations that lead to long-term relationships. We recently gathered in a home within a predominantly Hindu community. About 15 kids joined. Pray the Holy Spirit will continue His work in their hearts and guide every conversation. Also, pray for our team’s strength, unity, boldness, and protection always.
Pray for comfort and provision after my father’s passing two days before Christmas in Mexico City. Before his passing, Julie and I took two of our kids to Mexico. We didn’t know exactly when he would pass so after a week, I decided to stay in Mexico. The following night my dad was able to meet with the Lord in peace. Thanks for your prayers and support through this time of sadness but also with a living hope, peace, and joy in our Lord Jesus.
I laid out a call to our congregation on the first Sunday of the year to be diligent in the work of evangelism. We will be providing formal opportunities for evangelism the third Thursday and fourth Saturday of each month. Pray for faithfulness as I endeavor to model this for our church. Pray words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel that I may declare it boldly as I ought to speak (Ephesians 6:19–20). Pray also for fruit. Pray that when our neighbors hear the good news, they would rejoice and glorify the Word of the Lord so that as many as are appointed to eternal life will believe (Acts 13:48).
