Week of September 16

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday

  • Pray for Planter Raoul Crisologo and Marysville Christian Fellowship in Marysville, Washington.  Pray that God would raise up leaders to be trained and sent out.  Pray He would give them favor in their community, and that many would hear the Gospel and respond.


    Please pray specifically for the Crisologos health as they have had a tough year with Raoul having a stroke in June and his wife, Lynn, who recently had eye surgery. Please also pray for their daughter-in-law Cris (son Fritz & daughter Elisha) in the Philippines. Cris will be undergoing a very expensive surgery today or tomorrow on her back to relieve compression that has been causing extreme weakness in her lower extremities.  Pray for successful surgery, healing, and for God to provide the resources for the cost.


  • Please pray for catalytic Planter Jimmy Cruz as he plants Hispanic churches in Pasco, Yakima, and Pullman, WA.  Pray for him as he develops leaders and as they reach out to their communities with the Gospel.  Ask the Lord for open hearts and that Jimmy would be wise with his time and energy. Pray for the Hispanic Biblical Institute in Pasco, that it would flourish and produce strong, godly leaders for future church plants.  Praise God for all he is doing in Eastern Washington!


    Pray also for Jimmy's wife, Marie, and his sons Jose & Roger.

  • Pray for our partners: Pray for Resonate Church, led by Keith Wieser.  Resonate is a collegiate church planting network currently with 14 sites in 6 states (where? Here!), both on college campuses and off.  As school resumes (UW freshmen are moving in TODAY!), pray that impactful relationships would be built, leading to Gospel conversations and life-changing decisions to live for Christ. Pray for the teams on each campus, that they would boldly proclaim the Good News.


    Pray for the pastors and leaders of Resonate, that they would continue to discern where God is leading them to plant next, and that they would have wisdom as they continue to pour into students, that the next generation might know Christ!

  • 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 our team!


    Please pray for Phil Peters.  Phil is our "utility player" catalyst....while he is assigned specifically to help with the work in Regions 2 and 3, he is also assisting with works in Regions 1 and 5!  Pray for him as he travels throughout the Northwest, meeting with planters and pastors to coach and encourage them.  Pray for his wife, Elaine, his grown children Tim, Beth, Becky and their families.
