Over the past few weeks, I have been dealing with numerous kidney stones—16 stones over the past six weeks and nine of them the other Wednesday. Please pray for relief from all of this. Thanks.
Pray for guidance for the youth at our church. Most come from single parent, low-income families. Pray for our upcoming back-to-school bash on July 13 and a block party on July 17. Pray both events will be well attended and relationships will be made.
Pray for us as we transition to Oklahoma. Pray God will make the move smooth for us and our five small children. Pray God will prepare the harvest at the University of Oklahoma and raise up more monthly supporters.
Please pray for our upcoming Vacation Bible School. We are trying to reach families in our community. Pray God will bring families so we can connect with them and keep families in our church. Thank you!
Thanks for the prayers in advance. Please keep in prayer me, my family, the team and the church. Specifically, for this fall I need wisdom as I am leading and navigating our team. I need to be spiritually in tune with God more than ever. Pray for my wife, Lauren, and our three children, that we will rest well and be intentional with our efforts. Pray God will send laborers who will help lift up the vision and advance the kingdom forward. Pray for our finances this year so I can shift my bivocational schedule to more of a focus on leading ministry and not burning the candle at both ends. Pray our church team and family will be healthy spirit, soul and body. Praise God for our upcoming one-year anniversary in August.
Please pray for Seminole Fire Rescue and the family left behind by a member’s death by suicide. Please pray my church will open our campus to my firefighters’ funerals and meet other spiritual needs for those who are not connected to a church. Pray this welcome will bring gospel conversations and new church members. Also pray that my church accepts my ministry as a partner and God opens doors to more support for my ministry. Please also pray that I can build caring relationships with my firefighters in an effort to gain permission to share the life-changing good news of Jesus Christ in a non-threatening manner.
My friend, Charles, is greatly in need of prayers for healing. He has cancer that is spreading rapidly. Please pray for healing and peace for him and his wife.
Please pray for me as I just began working with this agency on July 1.
Please pray for the success of our 4th of July cookout and fireworks show. This is a quarterly community outreach event for our replant. We ask prayer that our church members will step up to help out and volunteer. Pray people from the community will show up, build relationships with our congregation and come to know Christ. Finally, pray for me as I have had a cold/flu. Pray I will get over it quickly. Thanks
In June, we spent a 19-day mission trip in Kenya. We praise God that He blessed our mission. Please pray He would also bless our summer community park outreach.
Please pray we would be bold in sharing the gospel with the people of our city. Pray for the salvation of people in our city. Pray for favor and open doors into our community. Pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Pray that my family and the families in our leadership team will continue to establish deep roots in the community, develop friendships and flourish holistically.
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers as we continue our one-year journey of church planting. We are grateful for God’s loving and merciful hand in our mission. Last year, we started a Bible club with nine teenagers at Red Top Middle School. To our amazement, more than 154 teenagers showed up for the club this week. Last year, we distributed more than 300 Bibles to kids and their parents. This year our goal is to give out 500 “Essential Teen Bible for Students.” These Bibles provide relevant principles from God to guide teenagers in their lives. We are also printing T-shirts for our Bible club. We ask that you pray for receptive hearts and growth in faith. Pray God will provide funds for Bibles and T-shirts.
My wife volunteers at the pregnancy care center in High Point. Please pray the Lord will touch the hearts of the women to whom she is ministering. Pray they will take the Lord seriously. Pray the Lord will give the church its own building this year. Pray an unmarried couple will honor God and marriage. Pray for the unbelievers who regularly attend church. Pray for God’s providence for our family. Pray for Haiti. Thank you.
I am preaching the sixth and seventh Commandments on July 7 and July 14. These will undoubtedly be hard topics. Please pray for my boldness and clarity and for gracious communication of hard truths. Pray our congregation and guests will have receptive hearts. Please pray for our congregation as we continue settling into our permanent location, which was gifted to us by a church that was closing. We have big building update expenses approaching, and we want to make the most of having a permanent facility. Please pray also those from the former church will join us. Please pray for my daughter, Reese, who is nearly ready to profess her faith through baptism. Finally, please pray for conversions through the ministry of our church. We long to see the lost saved, and we need God’s Spirit to move through our Sunday services and our outreach. Please pray that our congregation will feel a holy desperation to see the lost saved as well.
