Current Prayer Requests
(Last Updated March 5, 2026)
Prayer
- Continue to pray for their 8 year old son, David who broke his arm. Please pray for complete healing.
- After months of trying to obtain Azerbaijani New Testaments in Eastern Europe, praise the Lord, we finally have a few hundred in our possession and are planning to have more printed in country. God has also provided a photographer and videographer who will be working next week in different Azerbaijani cities/neighborhoods in Eastern Europe to capture photos and video stock for evangelistic social media ads targeted to these specific areas. We look forward to being able to start ads here soon after that! Please pray that several faithful people would commit to following up on the New Testament requests here in from the Azerbaijani people.
- A couple of weeks ago the team and leaders of our Middle East outreach team met here to discuss vision and how to move forward. As you know, right now the situation is very uncertain. Please pray with us that the Gospel will be able to be shared more freely in the Middle East.
- In 2025, the total income from the apartments was $13,500, the net income was $12,680, $8,880 of which has already been sent to support national gospel workers, with $3,800 left to be distributed as soon as possible to support national gospel workers. Praise the Lord!
- Lutfu Kerem’s mom Salime is quickly losing sight in both eyes. She has been to doctors but they have not been able to stop it. After many delays, she has come to us for a visit. In the past, she has been very resistant to the Gospel. Please pray that the Lord would give her spiritual and physical sight and that we would have many opportunities to share with her.
