Prayer Requests

  • Each month we appreciate your prayers for the Unreached People Groups here in Guinea. You can visit the link below to see all different groups. https://joshuaproject.net/countries/GV

    Pray

  • Praise and Prayer: Both Matthew and Abigail have been given the opportunity to do ministry internships. MATTHEW will spend the month of July working with the staff at Warren 1st AG iN Ohio. This is the church that welcomed us and housed us during itineration. He is very excited for this chance to learn, serve and grow. ABIGAIL- She is also interning this fall from Sept-Nov in Kenya, Africa with Africa's Children and Teens. We are so excited that God has opened this door for her. She feels called to serve teens in Africa and this is a perfect opportunity for her to learn and serve and grow as well. Pray for her as she starts fundraising. She needs $3000 to cover all the expenses for the 3 months she will be living in Kenya. We trust that God will provide. UPDATE: Praise the Lord!!!! The $3000 Abigail needed has come in! We are all so grateful and in awe of how good our God is!! Thank you to all who gave! (Any extra that she may receive will be used toward the cost of her plane ticket.)

    Pray

  • Rainy season is in full force now and although the rain is much needed it is also the source of a lot of damage. Pray for safety and for those who are experiencing great losses right now

    Pray

  • We need to go to the next level in French. We have all learned enough to function and to do ministry, but we want to be able to go deep here. For real discipleship and for teaching and training, we need to improve. 2 specific prayer requests are for divine help, learning language in your 40s is not as easy as your teens or 20s. It's not impossible but we need help. We also need to find creative solutions for making time. Our schedules here are FULL! But this is a priority so we need wisdom from the Lord on how to prioritize it in our schedule!

    Pray

  • Matthew college is officially closing and he needs to transfer schools before classes start in just a couple of weeks. We know God has Matthew's next chapter already determined. Pray for clear and quick doors to open and for Matthew to walk with excitement into what God has for Him.

We need funds to build 30+ Children’s Church structures in strategic locations throughout Guinea. These structures are used for Sunday school classrooms. They can also used to create kid’s camps and hold VBS services. They will also be used for Christian schools. This is an effective strategy to reach non-Christian children as local schools do not always provide an adequate education so many families are willing to send their children to our Christian schools.
