Pray for the salvation of our youngest daughter. She is 17 years old. God has given us five children; four of them have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the youngest has not yet. We trust that the Lord will work this miracle! Pray also for our church planters and our seven new churches. Pray they may continue growing spiritually and reaching their communities with the gospel: Iglesia Bautista in Ogden (Armando Lopez); Iglesia Bautista Sola Gracia in Riverton (Isaac Garza); Iglesia Bautista Gracia Infinita in Bakersfield, California (Jorge Ramírez); Iglesia Bautista Gracia y Verdad in Boise, Idaho (Tim Martin); Iglesia Bautista Ríos de Gracia in South Jordan (Raúl Mendoza); Eagle Mountain City (Daniel Tellez); and the most recent one, Iglesia Bautista Ciudad de Gracia in West Jordan (Leonardo Lopez). May the Lord be exalted in each church and in every planter, and may His Word be faithfully preached from every pulpit. Thank you so much for your support!
Pray that many Indians would hear the gospel and receive salvation. Pray that new believers would take the step of baptism with faith and joy. Pray that this year would be one of increased evangelism. Pray that more people would be willing to serve and invite others. Pray we will have God’s wisdom as we face challenges and decisions.
Pray for God’s wisdom as I face radiation treatments for recurring prostate cancer. Pray that I would see His will being accomplished as I face this uncertainty.
Pray for open doors and hearts for those and their families who are facing end-of-life situations and do not know Jesus.
Our church is in the midst of recovering from the sending out of two planters AND the merging of two churches. Our greatest prayer is that we will be a light and a place of safety for those in the inner-city. Secondly, because of our location, we really need a steady stream of committed partners over the next few years. Pray the Lord will send them our way. Lastly, pray that God will identify leaders to help carry the ministry load.
Pray that the congregants at Truelove Church will experience internal spiritual growth and be strengthened in sharing the gospel, as the Lord leads.
We are awaiting a final decision on an extension of service. We need to make final decisions about our future soon. Pray that those making the decision will soon communicate that to our chain of command. Thank you.
Pray for the conversion of Ananth. Pray that our neighbors, friends, and acquaintances would say “yes” to invitations. Pray we will have favor with the area’s property owners so we will have a permanent home for Eastside Community Church. The season since we launched has been really full. Our tanks are getting empty. We need the Lord to supply what only He can. Pray that Jenny, my wife, and I will rest in the Lord.
Thanks to everyone who prayed for the sale of our house in Nevada. It sold, and we are settling into our new home in Tennessee, putting us twice as close to our church ministry.
Praise! It’s a joy to see God moving, saving, and changing lives in our church! He is always faithful! Pray for several things for our church. We continue to need new space. We are praying for the Lord to provide a low- or no-cost option that would allow us to have more space for discipleship opportunities. We are currently looking for a new worship leader for our church. Pray the Lord will reveal the right person for this role. In February, we launched a midweek gathering. Our people are desperate for more time in the Word. Due to scheduling challenges with the space we use, we launched it in our home. Pray for all the details for that. We are praying about launching another service or church in the area to reach another part of our city, specifically for a location that would give us our own space to launch a midweek meeting. Spiritual darkness seems to have ramped up. Pray we stay out of the way of the Holy Spirit as He defends, leads, and saves! Pray for provision to meet the very demanding needs of our population and city.
Pray for the success of our church-planting ministry. Pray for the faithfulness of the members who gather. Pray they will grow in quality and quantity. Pray we will have partners in this work. Pray we will be courageous and wise and inspire many to reach others.
Pray that we impact our community by sharing the gospel, making disciples, and being salt and light. We are a small but passionate church. We need additional funding. Pray for financial partnerships from individuals and churches who can rally around us as we continue our church plant in year two.
Pray for our children as they continue to struggle to adjust to life in Washington. Pray that they will make faithful friends at school. Pray for our ministry as we plan Easter events.
We ask God to prepare us to do more in His kingdom and to strengthen us as we go through this year. We ask that He would send more laborers into the vineyard. We ask for a place of worship of our own so we may train more disciples for service.
