Prayer Requests
- Spiritual protection for the new believers in their home church. They have noticed a pattern of people coming to the Lord, and tough situations occurring soon after. Prayer for Godly protection against the enemy’s attacks.
- Raising up new leaders. They are at the point in which they have seen people give their lives entirely to the Lord but are still hesitant to step into leadership position because of feelings of inadequacy established by cultural guilt.
- Financial provision. Due to several circumstances regarding mechanical issues with their vehicle (one of their biggest ministry tools) and supporting the ministries they partner with there, they have recently been in a financial need.
