Gardith and I request your prayers that we would continue to hunger and thirst for Jesus. Pray also for growth in God’s work in Hollywood, Fla., as we’re tirelessly reaching out to the French and Creole speakers in our community.
Some of my family members are not walking with the Lord. Pray the Holy Spirit will soften their hearts and draw them to Him.
Pray for my family and my ministry.
Recently, we completed training for CarePortal. CarePortal is a system for churches to meet the needs of families in their city. When a worker visits a home and sees a family who needs a baby bed, diapers, or some other need, they can enter the need in CarePortal online, and churches that have completed the training can receive the notification. The need comes straight to the church and the church will deliver the item(s) to the family. We are the first county in our state to be involved with CarePortal, and there are only two churches in our city involved thus far. We also recently partnered with the pregnancy resource center in our city called Compass. Pray these opportunities will make Jesus known in our city.
Pray all South Asians in northwest Arkansas will know Christ and make Him known. Pray for the salvation of the South Asian families in Centerton and Bentonville. Pray for the healthy growth of the Family Church South Asians. Pray God will bring more kingdom-minded co-laborers for our team. Pray for endurance to be salt and light with a heavenly perspective.
Pray we will find a place of our own in which to meet on Sunday mornings. We presently meet on Sunday nights in another church’s facility. Also, pray God will give our members compassion for the lost. Pray we would have open doors for the gospel and more will be saved. Pray for spiritual growth and unity in our church.
We are so excited that we only need three more volunteers to be able to open a class for children 4–7 years old! Please join us in praying God will raise up more people who are passionate about teaching children, as well as for a core servant leader who feels called to direct our children’s ministry. Please keep in your prayers those who are serving overseas, including our brothers, John and Tramel. Please continue to pray for us as our pastors hold membership interviews with those interested in covenanting with the church. Pray according to 2 Corinthians 12:1-10. Pray we remain humble and dependent on God’s grace. We want to remember that our own strength is insufficient, and we look to God alone for the grace He provides in our weaknesses.
The chaplain services at the VA Medical Center are in the middle of an involuntary transition. Pray God will provide godly leadership who will guide us to better serve our King and the veterans.
Pray we will have wisdom in caring for the church and that we will care in fidelity and love. Pray God helps Carlos to faithfully preach His Word, always pointing to Christ. Pray God may strengthen us as a family as we serve the church and community. Pray that we as parents will always point our children to Christ by showing them the truth of the gospel in word and deed.
Continue to pray for all God is doing and the ways He is moving in our people at 3:18 Church. We are seeing some incredible moves in the way God is turning stony hearts to flesh, and we simply want to stay out of the way of the Holy Spirit as He leads. Practically, pray the Lord will raise new partner churches, both locally, regionally and nationally, to support our work in prayer. We are so grateful to have the opportunity to reach the unseen in our city and see all God is doing to restore lives.
God has continued to work in this replant! Our youth group is continuing to thrive. We have had a total of 16 salvations and 13 baptisms in the past three years. We need to have an ongoing partnership with a church or churches who are willing to support a church replant. This partnership may include prayer, physical support and or financial support. Pray God will provide.
Pray that our strength is in the Lord. Pray for the people in the homeless shelter we serve. Pray our core group will continue in their faithful services in the kingdom. Pray we will continue fighting the good fight!
Pray for physical health, endurance and spiritual strength as I shepherd Christ Covenant church and seek to glorify God in all I do in my role as senior pastor. Pray for Paige, my wife, as she seeks to get a bill passed through the Georgia legislature allowing for the teaching of Bible classes as electives in the public school system. Pray our children will continue to grow in Christ and to desire to pursue Him above all things. Pray God will provide several key staff positions at Christ Covenant. Pray we would have discernment and wisdom in selecting individuals who align with the church’s mission and values. Pray for God’s guidance as the church considers potential new sites. Pray for wisdom and clarity in navigating these opportunities in a way that serves His kingdom faithfully.
Pray our small church plant will grow in strength. Pray our people will give generously and serve selflessly. Pray we will be more faithful and fruitful in evangelism. Pray God will bring two or three strong ministry-minded families to strengthen and increase our capacities.
