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!

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

In communities across Latin America and the Caribbean — from Venezuela to the Dominican Republic to Colombia — our teachers, staff, and students are navigating daily realities marked by economic hardship, community unrest, and personal grief. -A teacher praying for open hearts in the classroom -A student asking for healing for his mother with cancer -A school director facing unrest in their community This is the reality behind the mission. And this is where your prayers make all the difference. We invite you to print the requests below. Keep them in your Bible. Tape them to your fridge. Let them become part of your own walk with Christ — because we truly can’t do this without you.

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.)

Our son, Jeremy, needs healing from occasional seizures. He has a form of epilepsy - debilitating seizures since he was 3. He is now an adult with 2 children of his own.

Please pray for all the documentation to make Hope church a reality. We have had difficulty getting our background checks, and the application for charity status started.

We have officially transitioned from our church and are now full-time raising support. Please pray for favor with churches and individuals.

Wisdom as we prepare to move OLI's base of operations from FL to MO - many details to process, housing, car, timing, moving funds, funds, etc. The travels in the first 6 months of 2026 will likely mean we won't begin the transition until June. First trip in March to setup our office went really well.
