Pray my sons will continue to grow in their faith. Pray they would also grow in their love.
Pray God will provide the financial resources Camp Amplify needs to continue. As costs of everything have continued to rise, our expenses have risen as well. Pray for direction, also. After nine years of looking, we believe we have found the place for our permanent camp location. We want to be where God wants us and to do it in HIS timing. Thank you!
Thank you for all the spiritual and financial support. Pray God will give me grace to be focused on His mission. Pray God will bring an increase in the church in all aspects. Pray God will bring us committed and consistent collaborators. Pray the fear of God will continue to keep us in the truth. The list is unlimited. Thank you again!
Pray for our Hispanic community and their families in our state of North Carolina. As church planters, we are facing many challenges in our efforts to reach out to our Hispanic community in Apex, N.C. We pray for grace and wisdom as we create new relationships and opportunities to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in our community as we plant a new Hispanic church through our sending church, Apex Baptist Church. We are greatly thankful for the NAMB and Send Network families for your support and prayers!
Pray for Erynn. She was invited to our church by one of our core team members who is a coworker of hers. In a very short period of time, Erynn has quickly become intrigued and even excited about the message of the gospel. Just this weekend she shared with us that she had put her faith in Christ as her Savior! Pray Erynn would continue to grow and mature in Christ and that our church would come around her to disciple and teach her God’s Word. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Pray our marriage will be strengthened. Pray God will protect our family. Pray we would be wise in handling debt so we may be more free to do ministry. Pray our health and attitudes will be in line with Christ and that we continue to have opportunities to be used by God for the furthering of the gospel. Pray I will have wisdom in dealing with my career and for those I care for, particularly for my soldiers. Pray the spiritual warfare book I have begun will be ready for publication soon. Thank you.
Pray we will obtain a dedicated worship space. Ask God to provide a suitable and permanent place for our church to gather and worship, fostering spiritual growth and community. Pray for transportation for the newcomers. Intercede on their behalf for resources to ensure that those seeking to join the congregation have the means to attend, allowing them to experience God’s presence and fellowship. Pray for the appointing of church leaders. We seek God’s guidance in raising and appointing faithful and capable leaders who will serve the church with wisdom, humility, and dedication to His Word. Let us unite in prayer, trusting that God will meet every need according to His perfect will.
Pray for our growing congregation. God is blessing our many efforts, and we are seeing many make decisions to follow Jesus and begin discipleship in our D-groups on Saturday nights. We continue to pray for a new church van for our fellowship. Our current one is old, guzzles gas, and our front air conditioner has gone out. We are praying for a new van with more room for all those we are picking up for church. Pray also the Lord will provide some consistent recurring givers to replace a long-term supporting church that is finishing their three-year commitment to us. Overall, we are just so grateful that we get to make the light and love of Jesus known in our downtown area. Thanks for praying. We are truly grateful for all the prayers we can get.
Pray God will provide a home that empowers our ministry. We need a house near downtown that is large enough for our family of seven, affordable, and designed in a way that supports our work with the church plant—whether through hospitality, meetings, or simply being present in the community. Pray for a dwelling that will become a tool for service. We trust in God’s faithfulness and appreciate your prayers!
As summer comes to a close and we look toward fall, we are praying for three key things in our church plant. First, pray the Lord will continue to raise up strong spiritual men who will be elders in our church body to help lead, shepherd, and build up our body. Second, we are currently meeting in one of the local churches here on Sunday afternoons. We are praying through what it might look like for us to have our own space so we can begin meeting on Sunday mornings. We know that will come with a larger financial commitment, but we know if we seek the Lord, He will provide everything we need to accomplish what He has planned. Third, continue to pray that we would reach the lost in our communities and neighborhoods. Thank you for your prayers!
We praise God for a wonderful summer ministry teaching weekly Bible classes to little kids in learning centers throughout Greater New Orleans. Praise the Lord for open doors at local preschools and learning centers. Pray for my husband, Phil, and me as we prepare for fall ministry. Pray for our faithful volunteers. Pray for the upcoming Fall-O-Ween Jesus events in which we assist local churches in sharing the gospel with children. Pray our local church, First Baptist Church of Chalmette, will grow in members and be a lighthouse to the community.
My Air National Guard unit is standing up a full-time chaplain position. It is essentially a two-year tour that needs to be renewed by the commander. My commanding officer suggested I take this tour, but to do so I need to backfill his job at the unit while he goes on the first tour. That job is not covered by the employment protections we have so I quit my civilian job to follow God’s call on my life as a military chaplain. My wife and I are stepping out in faith, knowing God will take care of us. Please pray that we can serve God and our airmen with honor and that God would extend this tour and provide others like it so we may continue serving him.
Pray for my mother and mother-in-law as they recover from their surgeries. Pray there will be unity among our team and disciples. Pray the Lord will open a door for a building in our community or nearby that will be available when we launch our Sunday services. Pray for the Sunnyside community in Houston and that they will realize their need for a gospel-teaching missional church.
Pray that those who are facing their end-of-life journey and their families will find comfort from our Father. Pray for guidance and strength for our nurses, social workers, and chaplains.
