We are praying to plant a new church in the Turner community. Pray God will open doors for the gospel. Pray for our residency program. I have two residents trained now. Pray that Kim will have a full recovery from cancer after experiencing 18 months of chemotherapy.
Pray God would guide every step in 2026, as we begin and strengthen the Spanish‑language services. Pray that everything we do would be in alignment with His perfect will. For Giovvani and Anny, pray that the Lord would prepare them for Send Network Oklahoma’s pastoral residency and that God would use Gio powerfully as a pastor who will help grow the Hispanic ministry at First Baptist Church Broken Arrow. For the pastoral support team, pray that the Holy Spirit would unite us, give us wisdom, and enable us to advance the kingdom of God together, proclaiming Jesus Christ in Broken Arrow, Tulsa, and the surrounding areas throughout the year. For my family, may the Lord keep us strong, united, and covered by His grace, and may He provide everything necessary for us to continue forward in this calling.
We will hold our first service on April 5 and need a place for worship. We are also forming a core team and raising funds for our budget. Pray God will provide all we need.
I recently had my right knee replaced. Pray for me as I heal.
Pray that more people will accept Jesus Christ in Broward County. Also, pray that Première Eglise Evangèlique Mont Garizim will have a place to worship.
Pray for Found Church as we go door-to-door to reach our community and visit weekly for one-on-one discipleship. Pray for open doors, receptive hearts, and many salvations as we engage our community in the warmer seasons. Pray also for our upcoming Easter community outreach and our very first Easter service. Pray that everything would go smoothly, that many would come, and that the gospel would be clearly proclaimed. Additionally, pray for our church families. As a three-month-old church, we will be having critical biblical conversations in the coming weeks as we discern next steps together. Pray for wisdom, unity, grace, and trust in the Lord as we move forward as a church family.
Pray the Lord will bring us unbelievers. Pray we would have opportunities to share the gospel with coworkers, neighbors, and family. Pray that the Lord will bring a harvest and that those we evangelize will actually believe in Christ!
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.
