Prayer Commitments

Prayer Requests


  • There are some Christian churches in the area, but most of the Kono hold animistic beliefs. The Christian population is very small. The Kono have been known to burn down churches and chase Christians from their villages. However, in recent years they have changed and desire for a missionary to come translate the Bible into their language. https://joshuaproject.net/people_groups/19399/GV


  • JUNE PRAYER REQUESTS: BUDGET- We need $200 in monthly support pledges to be Fully Funded! Pray for that to come in and process quickly!!! MATTHEW- He is working the summer Missionary Kids program at AGWM headquarters. Pray for health, joy and great ministry to all the new MKs he will be working with! ABIGAIL- She is taking your drivers license test soon. Pray for safety as she steps into this new season of independence. She is also taking her ACT test at the end of the month. TRANSITION- We are officially is transition season. Packing, downsizing, lots of things on the calendar. Each move God has taught us and grown us in a new way. This time we are praying for His perfect peace through all the packing process. It started out rocky but we are claiming His peace and committing to walk in it from now until we depart.


  • We are finishing up the last of our travels this month and we have several long trips and drives. Pray for safety, stamina and memory making in our last month of itineration adventures.


  • We need several clearances before we can purchase plane tickets for sometime in July. Pray with us for each of those to come in God’s perfect timing and pray against any delays or frustrations of the enemy.

Projects


Children's Tabs

Give Now

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.
