Week of May 18

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday

  • Pray for Pastor/Planter Freddy Joklur Jr. and West Plains Marshallese Church in Medical Lake, WA.  Pastor Freddy actually is pastoring Valleypoint Marshallese Church, while planting in Medical Lake and also serving as the English worship pastor at Valleypoint Church.  Pray that God will bless and multiply his time and resources, so he can effectively minister and not become weary.  Pray for God to raise up and strengthen leaders to work alongside him with both congregations.  Pray that they would be able to connect with many of the Marshallese people and for open doors to share the Gospel. Pray also for his wife Terry, as she serves alongside Freddy.

  • Pray for Planter Frank Wood and Twin Rivers Community Church in Crooked River Ranch, Oregon.  Praise God for the growth they have experienced over the past few years! Please pray for God to provide the resources for even more space to be added to their three-year-old building!  Among a need for more classrooms and a bigger worship space, Twin Rivers has a vision to start a school. Crooked River Ranch is a fairly isolated community, with almost no amenities....including a school.  Over 700 students are bussed to nearby towns for school.  Pray God would provide the resources for them to see this vision realized.


    Pray also for Frank's wife, Vicky, as she serves alongside her husband.

  • Pray for Planter Rich Hutchins and Stilly Valley Church with campuses in Stanwood and Arlington, WA. Please pray for strength and encouragement as they minister in their communities, that the work they are doing will lead to Gospel conversations and changed hearts.


    Please pray for God to raise up leaders to serve alongside Rich and his family. Pray for Rich as he works bi-vocationally, that he would manage his time effectively.


    Pray for his wife Jill, as she labors alongside him, as well as for their children: Clara, Natalee, Trey, Uriah, and Sadie.

  • Pray for Ryan Paterson and A Church Family Network (CFN).  CFN is a multiplying network of churches in Vancouver/Portland and beyond.  Pray for their non-profit, Family Rhythms, working with over 200 young families in Vancouver. Pray for more space and the development of deacons and elders as the church grows and needs to multiply.  Ryan is a co-vocational planter, so pray for opportunities for him to bring the Gospel to the workplace as well as to his community.


    Pray for Ryan's family - wife Rebecca, and kids Ashlyn, Caleb, Eli, Addy and Cora.

  • Pray for Planter Carlos Rivera and Thousand Hills Church in Merrill, Oregon.  Pray that God would root and establish them firmly, that He would raise up strong disciples that make disciples. Pray for opportunities for this church to be a light to their community, and for hearts to be open to the Good News.


    Pray also for Carlos' wife Ellie, and their three kids: Levi, Judah, and Eden.
