Joe is having outpatient surgery on Tuesday. Please pray for no complications and a quick recovery.

I'm currently fundraising and would be grateful for any prayers towards me getting back to serving the Lord in France. I need a team of prayer and financial support. Please join me in prayer for monthly partners!

Please pray for our rental contract to be renewed for a year. Our place may be a bit rundown, but it is perfect in every other way. We have just a few weeks to negotiate with the landlord, and he hasn't been very responsive.

We've been reaching out in our neighbourhood and building relationships, but we need God's plan for the next step. We want to begin engaging people with the Gospel in a more formal way. Please pray with us for God's timing, location, and method.

MOVING- There are lots of moves this month. First out of our itineration home which has been a tremendous blessing this past year. Then to Guinea into temporary guest housing. Last into the home we find for our family in Guinea. Pray for health and strength. Pray also for favor and discernment as we search for our residence in Guinea. Abigail- She is starting her senior year of High School 2 weeks after we arrive. MATTHEW- Pray for him as this is his first experience leaving the airport and not getting on a plane. FAMILY- First for our 4 to navigate life on 2 different continents. Second for extended family as we readjust to time zone differences, FaceTime calls, and texts as our normal once again. TEAM- One member of our team has been on the ground since last year, our leaders arrived in June, we are landing now, and one more family is coming in August. Pray for us all as we do life and ministry together for divine appointments, discernment and the unity of Christ!

This is my first time serving as a staff pastor in a church, and there's a lot of work that needs to get done to help these ministries thrive. Please pray for the youth group I'll be leading, the children's church I'll be developing, and my activity in helping the church's online and outreach presence. And pray for the students and members of the church when I return to serve in the church!

“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings of eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31 Please praise God with us and pray with us: *Thank you for your prayers for Max and the students in Colombia. The Leadership course concluded with great enthusiasm for the biblical concepts they acquired. *Please pray for the new AGWM missionaries currently receiving orientation before being sent to the field in various countries. Also, please pray for the worldwide missionaries coming to Springfield to attend Missionary Renewal next week; we will be attending. Thank you! (Spanish version) “Los muchachos se fatigan y se cansan, los jóvenes flaquean y se cansan; pero los que esperan a Jehová tendrán nuevas fuerzas; levantarán alas como las águilas; correrán y no se cansarán; y no se fatigarán.” Isaías 40:31 Por favor, alaba al Señor con nosotros y ora con nosotros: *Muchas gracias por sus oraciones por Max y los estudiantes en Colombia. El curso de Liderazgo concluyó con gran entusiasmo por los nuevos conceptos bíblicos adquiridos. *Por favor ore por los nuevos misioneros de las AD que ya están recibiendo orientación antes de ser enviados al campo en varios países. También, por favor ore por los misioneros globales que han llegado a Springfield para asistir a la Reunión de Renovación Misionera durante la semana que entra; nosotros estaremos asistiendo. ¡Muchas gracias!

Wisdom as we reflect on the impact of our month-long ministry trip to the Philippines, Thailand, and a sensitive nation. Many connections were initiated that can be built on for the future.

Good Health - our last trip kept us non-stop on the go for over a month.

Understanding of how to write the Children's Ministry lessons for the oral learners. We're now working to understand and research the other lessons that have been written for OLBI (Oral Learners Bible Institute).  Needs to be completed in 2025.

Wisdom for the many items on our To Do lists and communications.  Finding a workable routine when not traveling.

Our travel budget has increased.  Please pray for an abundance in our travel funds account so we can walk through the open doors of ministry - Philippines, Thailand, Ecuador, Mongolia, Indonesia, Bangladesh and a sensitive nation (so far!).
