A new Japanese family has been coming to our church. They are non-Christians. Pray for their salvation.
Pray I will make regular, intentional, and thoughtful efforts at being a better spiritual leader for my family, especially for my wife and children.
Thank you for your prayers. The cards and emails we have received through the PrayerConnect newsletter are such an encouragement to both my wife and me, and we just praise God for you and for this outlet for prayer requests. God has been moving through our people. We have begun our new semester of small groups, and we are seeing spiritual growth in the people who attend each week. We also have another baptism scheduled for the very near future. We have had a couple of new couples begin attending and are being very consistent. As I lay out the prayer request, please pray for us as the Spirit leads you to pray. Pray for my wife and the Bible study she leads in her school. It is growing, and the teachers are all talking about the studying. Additionally, my wife feels led to start a new ministry for pastors’ wives within our association and community. Pray for wisdom for me as I lead God’s people also through our association. I have been elected to lead a team that focuses on expanding the number of churches within our association and leading a renewal movement to get our churches healthy and growing. Pray for our community of Madison, Fla., where 51.2% have zero affiliation with any faith-based organization or church. Pray we can be a blessing to our community as we point people to Jesus Christ.
Our church recently celebrated her fourth anniversary. We have been holding our weekly church services in a 1,000-square-foot garage. We want to move to a better structure by the fifth year. The church owns a piece of property, and it was God’s grace and love that helped us get the property, but building a church at the current site will cost $300,000 to $450,000. Pray for us as we raise funds. Pray God will direct us and give us wisdom in this matter.
At 42 years of marriage, my husband, Jeff, and I thank God for His gracious care for us. I volunteer at our church and serve with Child Evangelism Fellowship of Indiana. I ask the Lord for His continued grace and joy and for more fruitfulness. Thank you for your prayers.
Pray for the growth of our church. Pray we would have the wisdom and courage to preach the true Word. Pray many will join us. Pray we will be fully dedicated to our ministry. Pray God will send us spiritual partners.
Pray God in His mercy will send leaders and musicians to our church. Pray God will have compassion on a community that is confused and wants nothing to do with Him. May God conform many to the image of His Son.
We have so many needs! Pray with us, please. We are out of space and praying about how the Lord wants us to move forward, perhaps in launching an additional work on Sundays somewhere in the city to reach another area and give us space for a midweek service, discipleship classes, etc. We are praying specifically for a turnkey space that will be low to no cost. We are also praying for a newer van. We have raised about half of what we need. Our van ministry is fundamental to what we do in ministry, and having a newer working van would really help us! Pray that more churches will desire to serve our population of people and come alongside us. Lastly, we recently had one of our largest donors complete a three-year commitment to us. We are praying God will fill the gap that’s been created with their support now missing. God’s got it, and He always overdoes it!
Pray our youngest daughter will trust in the Lord Jesus as Lord and Savior. She is a freshman in college but is walking down a very deceptive path.
We need God’s help to accomplish this ministry. Pray He will give us His special grace and protection in our service of worship and evangelism among other religions, especially among Muslims.
Pray for Parrott Baptist Church. Their pastor resigned and the church has not met since. They need to re-vision the Lord’s plan for the church and use local supply preachers to help them start meeting again.
Please join me in giving thanks and gratitude to God for seeing us through the first year after we officially launched on March 13, 2024. By His grace, we survived our first year despite the ups and downs. God has remained faithful in keeping us into our second year. Pray for growth and increase. Many have visited the church in the past year, but most of them are discouraged that we are still in a school setting. But we are not discouraged and will not give up. Ask the Lord of Increase to visit Hope Church Moreno Valley and touch the hearts of people in our community to be receptive to the gospel message of our Savior Jesus Christ. We will be holding our second Christmas Toy Drive on December 14, 2025. Pray the kids and parents of La Jolla Elementary School Moreno Valley will be receptive to the gospel message and that the Lord will use this event to bring growth to His church. Pray for continued unity, love, and courage to share the good news among our brethren. Like every other church plant, we have had our share of storms, but God has kept us together. Pray for my family, too. Pray the Lord will continue to keep us in His will and provide for our sustenance. Thank you for praying for us.
Please join with me in my prayer. I’m asking God to send 500 people to attend our Christmas Eve services this year. Pray I can grow in preaching, teaching, leading, and building with the power of Christ that resides in me (Ephesians 3:20-21) for His glory! We want to see more people get saved, discipled, baptized, and taught the Word of God so they can grow and teach others to do the same. While doing all of this, most importantly, pray for my wife, Kira, and our four kids. The enemy hates what the Lord is doing in and through us. We launched our church as a replant from a First Baptist Church on April 20, 2025. What started with about 20, grew to about 40 for our launch team, and on Easter, God brought in 152. We just celebrated a building dedication service on September 21, and God brought in 174 people. May the Lord’s goodness and mercy be put on full display, and may He continue to build His church in our midst. Thank you for your faithful prayers!
Pray more homes will open for house church services and that there will be more workers for our music team. Pray there will be a favourable assessment of the documents we submitted for permanent residency purposes. Pray God will give my wife a job where our faith and conviction will not be compromised. Pray for the schooling of our kids and for financial provision.
