My son, Mike, is battling kappa light chain cancer and has dialysis three times a week, four hours per session. Additionally, he has chemo once a month. Pray for him. Also, be praying for disaster relief volunteers and victims as tornado season has begun. These storms affect many cities and states across the nation yearly.
Pray for me and the mission here at Dover Air Force Base. I serve as the Army Liaison Chaplain and minister to the families of the fallen as they arrive for the Dignified Transfer of their loved ones. Since the end of February, it has been an increasingly difficult mission. Pray that I may continuously serve as a beacon of hope in the midst of despair. Also, pray that I may walk alongside the Soldiers daily and empower them with spiritual resiliency as they serve in this mission.
We started the “Whose Your One” campaign on April 1. Pray that everyone in our church will choose a person and pray for him or her for 30 days. Pray for open doors, boldness, the words to speak, clarity, and open hearts. Pray that we will experience the excitement and joy of seeing conversions.
At the end of this month, my mother will be moving in with my wife and me. This will be a huge adjustment for everyone. Pray that it will be a blessing for all.
In June, I will complete my chaplain residency. My prayers are for seeking God’s direction for what comes next. There aren’t many chaplain positions available in Kansas City right now, and I’m praying about where He is calling me to serve next.
Recently, First Baptist Church of Canton sent 20 people to the Cusco area of Peru. For many years, we have sponsored a network called Zona Zegura. The three main “prongs of the spear” include orphanages for children, medical outreach, and pastoral education. We interact with children through intensive Bible study, prayerwalking, street evangelism, and becoming better educated about how ministry is done in this part of Latin America. Pray that this experience will last a lifetime for the team members and those who have been impacted by the gospel. Pray also that cross-cultural relationships will develop and blossom. Thanks for your support!
Pray God will give my family, our church, and our ministry the strength and courage to move on from the recent loss of my mother. This loss still affects both family and church. Also, join me in thanking God for the new media system we just started putting together in our church. May God help us to complete it.
Pray for revival in Winnipeg. Pray that the land will be broken for Jesus. Pray that homicides and the crime rate will reduce in Winnipeg and Manitoba compared to other locations in Canada. Pray that newcomers who come to Winnipeg will find Christ and discipleship through the church. Pray that the people who have been away from church since COVID will come back to Christ and the fellowship of the church through God’s Family Church.
Pray God will bring us worship singers. Pray the church will grow spiritually and numerically.
Pray for the spiritual, emotional, and physical health of our members and leadership.
Pray that we would have patience and spiritual strength to faithfully engage those who are close to us geographically but far from God, as we labor in a spiritually dry land.

Pray that God will grant us boldness, wisdom, and love to faithfully share the gospel among people of other religions and backgrounds in the city.
Pray for our church in California, especially for the Iranian asylum seekers who are part of our congregation. Many are waiting anxiously for their immigration status to be resolved. Pray for God’s protection, peace, and favor, and that the Lord would open doors, provide legal clarity, and strengthen their faith during this season of uncertainty. Pray for our church’s financial needs. We are seeking God’s provision to continue our Sunday services and to faithfully carry out the mission projects He has entrusted to us. Pray for wisdom in stewardship, generosity among believers, and that the Lord would supply every need according to His will. We need believers and churches to come along with us. Pray for the Farsi church planting in Iraq. Ask the Lord to prepare hearts, raise up faithful leaders, protect His servants, and allow the gospel to take root and bear lasting fruit among Farsi-speaking communities in Iraq. Thank you for standing with us in prayer. May God be glorified through His church and His work among the nations.
Ask God to impart to us spiritual strength, spiritual wisdom, family spiritual strength, and good health. Pray that we can disciple more men for church leadership; establish more Bible studies; expand evangelism; establish men’s, women’s, young adult, youth, and children’s ministries; and address financial needs.
Pray for our world. Pray we, in our families and our churches, would keep our eyes fixed on God. Pray we would have clarity when God speaks and have boldness as we share the gospel with 5,000+ people this year. Pray that we would experience growth as our church faithfully serves Him.
