A crucial part of making, growing, and unleashing disciples of Christ is allowing the Holy Spirit to will and work through you. Through praying over how the Lord is working globally in making disciples, we can participate in living out the Great Commission where we are! Here are some ways you can be praying this week!
Pray
Join us in prayer all week long for the specific needs below!
Emmanuel Church:
- Pray for a building of their own.
- Pray for more elders to be raised up/ become available.
- Pray for the Lord to continue doing among them in 2026 what he has been doing in 2025.
Praises:
- Joyful unity around the gospel.
- Encouraging growth through people coming to faith, babies being born, and Christians joining them.
- A recent church history class and a preaching series on Proverbs are going well.
Jonathan Mathews & The Southern Cone Initiative
- Pray for Jonathan & Erin as they are stepping out in faith to expand their ministry focus throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. God is opening new doors for them to reach more people in more places.
Praise:
- Breaking ground on the Missio Dei Institute, which will train over 200 church leaders in 2026.
- Over 3,000 leaders trained through their Encontro LIDER events since 2020, resulting in 32 new churches planted—including three in Uruguay, a country known as the “graveyard of missionaries”.
- 48 new believers baptized at Bethany Church, which is now multiplying into other communities.
David & Katya Snead | Ukraine
- Pray for Katya’s new ministry to military wives.
- Pray for their small group and that the young people there would either get saved or be baptized (there are several “on the fence”).
- Pray for them both to get good grades and finish their master’s degrees well.
- Pray for them to have the resources to finish the apartment repairs and move in soon.
Praises:
- 4 people got baptized at church recently!
- Praise for good grades on their Greek finals.
Hope Roberts
- Pray for courage and boldness. As the move date gets closer, things get more real, which also means scarier and more intimidating.
- Pray for her family and friends who are staying behind. Grief is a complex, hard thing that comes with goodbyes, and she is not the only one experiencing it.
- Pray that her heart would quickly come to know and love the Filipino people.
Praises
- Praise God for her time with family and friends this holiday season!
- Praise God that her roommate Claire is healing and doing much better! She plans to return to PI in January, which means she’ll be there when Hope arrives.
- Praise God for His provision through His Body!
