Matt

Matt Kirkas asks prayer that he can balance his time as he spends much of it on the road. This is also a new chapter for him and his wife with two kids in college; pray for this adjustment. Pray that God will raise up men and women to go where the fields are white unto harvest, especially in Indonesia.

Joseph & Mandi

Joseph and Mandi ask prayer for the physical health of their family, especially baby Ezra. Pray for unity and wisdom among the staff. MEDIC is in transition as they seek to set it on a firm foundation moving forward. It will take several months to sort everything out properly. Joseph asks we pray for the right outcomes and for changed hearts in the transition. Pray for the new teammates who are arriving and bringing medical skills into MEDIC which will be a huge blessing.

Judy

Judy shares that much of Homecare Spiritual Fellowship’s ministry is directed to programs they hope will empower the women and children to come out of the Kibera slums as they also address the issues caused by HIV/AIDs. She asks for prayer for three of her own children who are between jobs, that God will direct them.

George & Anne

With daughters Meg married and Ruth finished with her Bar exam, George and Anne Harper just need to settle their medical and financial concerns before heading back to the Philippines. Pray that the side effects of Anne’s medication and George’s procedure on his eyelids will not hamper their plans to return to their academic roles and graduate students waiting for them.

Tezar & Tatiana

Praise for the safe arrival of baby Elena born to Tezar and Tatiana. Pray for Tezar as he comes to Memphis for his ordination week to be equipped, encouraged, and refreshed to return to move forward in the church planting already underway with a strong core team. Pray for Tatiana and the baby in his absence.

Ronnie & Jane

Ronnie Stevens is grateful that Jane has joined him today. Pray for their adjustment to a new location, for adequate housing that is suitable for both their ministries, and for opportunities to be used to bring hope and direction to believers and non-believers. Pray Jane’s arrival will encourage Ronnie to be better disciplined in his time management and health issues.

Greece team

Pray for the five member team leaving tomorrow for Athens, Greece to work alongside the Polis Ministry in its outreach to refugees sometimes seeing up to 80 new people a day.  Mothers and children are often the most desperate for the basic necessities, and how to secure them. Doctors Without Borders has opened a clinic and a pediatric member of the team may be able to work with them. The team led by Ron and Sarah Sadlow is made up of Ann Lankford, Camille Holmes, and Leigh Tatum. They return April 23.

Tim & Huilan

Pray for Huilan to implement the new ideas learned from her meeting in another city to start a ministry to wives of E. Asia church planters. Pray for Tim as he works with the local team of missionaries, for the team leader, and for harmony for the team. Pray for the pastors Tim works with to aid them as they shepherd increasing numbers of people hungry for real spiritual food.

Thomas & Jennifer

Thomas and Jennifer are so grateful they were able to locate a larger ministry space with a better location and amenities for the gospel center that is only slightly more rent than the current space. Pray the children’s Bible class on Thursday evenings will be able to draw in new kids as well as serve the kids in the church who cannot attend the Wednesday meeting. Lastly, pray for Snow and her family to grow in their faith.

Kyle & Claudia

Kyle and Claudia are grateful for the children’s center which they have been working on for four years. This government sponsored program will be run as a Christian child care center with classes, food service, social services and psychological support. Church members worked very hard to see this become a reality for the 125 children ages 1-3 from very low income families. Pray for the ministry of the center and also for Kyle’s carpentry class at the Merlo site on Saturdays.
