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.
Pray for protection for our family from evil, sickness, and harm. Pray for our eldest daughter, Annabelle, as she prepares to enter the Journeymen process. Pray for divine appointments and for the ability to reach the communities of Grayling and Rogers City. Pray for vision for new ways to meet people and to share the gospel.
Pray for me, my family, and my church as I begin the Chaplain Basic Officer Leadership Course (CHBOLC). CHBOLC is a three-month military training program that started in January 2026. Pray for favor in connecting with soldiers at the Army Military Police Unit where I serve.
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We would like to humbly share two prayer requests with you and ask for your support before the Lord. First, pray for our family. I serve as a bivocational pastor to provide for our household. My wife is currently seeking employment, and we are praying for God’s guidance and provision and that He would open the right door for her in His perfect time. Second, pray for our church, especially for our families who have children. We are thankful for the children God has already entrusted to us, but there are very few of them. Our children long for fellowship with peers — to grow, learn, and walk with Christ together. We pray that the Lord will bring families with children into our church, so the next generation may be nurtured in faith and love. We are deeply grateful for your prayers and partnership in the gospel. May the Lord richly bless you and your church.
Pray for us as we transition into our new mission field in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia. We ask for a smooth transition and for wisdom and grace as we settle into this new season of ministry. We would also appreciate prayers as we continue raising financial support, trusting the Lord to provide faithfully. We praise God for His incredible provision in securing an apartment in Langley just 48 hours before our move from Portland, Oregon. His timing has been perfect. Pray for creativity and discernment as we seek meaningful ways to serve our city, build genuine relationships, and make strong connections within the community. Thank you for standing with us in prayer.
Pray for the Lord’s will regarding a potential move from our current rental space at a middle school cafeteria, where we have access for only four hours per week on Sunday mornings. We hope to move to a commercial space with 24/7 access in a better location and with much more functional usage. Pray we will reach an agreement on an offer, and pray that God’s provision will cover the increase in the monthly rent.
Pray for the healing of my sister, Lisa. She has brain cancer and recently underwent surgery and is struggling. Pray also for the protection of our church plant and that God will bring the right people He wants to help lead it. Pray that God will bless our church and the nearby churches that preach the name of Jesus. Pray there will be a revival like none we have ever seen before. Thank you so much.
Pray for Sonia’s health as she is very fatigued and can’t sleep.
