Week of June 9

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday

  • Pray for Planter Ivan Shepel and Bellevue Bible Church in Bellevue, Washington as they labor to reach Russian-speakers on the Eastside.  Pray Bellevue Bible would have favor and influence as they minister to their neighborhoods.  Pray hearts would be open to the Gospel, and that many would accept Jesus.  Pray for wisdom for Pastor Shepel and his leadership as they minister to the Slavic people in the NW during this continued time of war in their home countries.


    Pray also for Ivan's wife, Galina and their grown children.

  • Pray for Planter Sam Mhlanga and Bread of Life International Fellowship in Kent, Washington.  Pray for their congregation as they minister in their community, especially to African immigrants (Sam and his wife, Judith, are originally from Zimbabwe).  Pray for open doors as they share the Gospel with those they encounter.  Pray for the second plant they are starting in Tacoma area, that they would have favor with the people and their hard work would bear much fruit.


    Pray also for Sam's wife Judith, and their children Blessing, Shalom, Prosper, Emmanuel, and Joseph.

  • Pray for Planter Fayze Hanna and Vancouver Arabic Healing Church in Vancouver, WA. Fayze and his wife, Eman El Said, originally from Egypt, are reaching Arab speakers in the Vancouver/Portland area. Pray for them, their children, and their church as they seek to minister to families, meeting both tangible and spiritual needs. Pray for open hearts to the Gospel. Pray for growth and unity among their members. Pray that they might be a catalyst for other Arabic churches to be planted in the Northwest.

  • 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 barely two-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.
