Greetings Prayer Partners,

 

Tomorrow evening, Life Church in Searcy is conducting two different outreaches in their community.

Please pray for this new church as they wash windshields and give out free gas at an area gas station.

And pray as they build relationships with the health care community as they provide drinks and snacks for nurses at the hospital.

Praise the Lord for how He is using this new church to make a difference in their neighborhood.

Praise the Lord as they have more than doubled in their attendance since their launch back in April.

God is good . . . and thanks for praying!

I know that this is the second prayer request this week, but wanted you all to be aware of another specific need.

 

Tomorrow morning July 8, Ramon Soto, pastor of a Hispanic church plant in Van Buren, will be having major surgery.

Like many of our church planters, Ramon is underinsured.

 

Please pray for the surgery to go well and for Ramon to recover quickly.

And pray for the Lord’s provision during this time of financial uncertainty.

 

Thank you for joining with us as we struggle together for the sake of the Gospel (Romans 15:30)!

One of the most important things in any new church planting ministry is that the church planter and his family live on the ministry field in which they are planting the church.  For almost a year now Daren and Ashley Neely and family, pastor and family of The City Church, have been trying to sell their house in Bryant to move into the Riverdale area of Little Rock where The City Church is located.  The City Church is starting to make inroads into the Riverdale community and the Neelys desperately want to move into that community to live in their ministry field.  They have had several people look at their house in Bryant, but no buyers. 

 

-Pray that God would open up a door for someone to buy their house so they could the move into the Riverdale community of Little Rock.

-Pray that once their house sells the right house in the Riverdale community will open up for them to buy.

-Pray that God will continue to open up opportunities for The City Church to minister in the Riverdale community of Little Rock.

Greetings Prayer Partners!

Below is a prayer letter from one of our church planters in Bentonville. Rather than pulling out the specific prayer requests and passing them on to you, I thought I would forward the entire letter. Join us in praying for Faith Journey Fellowship as God is clearly at work!

Dear Praying Friends,

How sweet it is to see God answering your prayers! I can't even remember how many times I have asked that you pray for God to send people to Faith Journey - lost people, saved people who need a church - people. It seems that we are going through a great season of harvest in this area of people. God is bringing in new people from all the relational seeds that have been planted by our people in the last year or so...some lost people, some saved people. Just this last Sunday we had four new families and three new singles in worship with us for the first time!

Now that we are seeing this harvest of people, we want to pray more fervently for a harvest of SOULS. It's great to have more people, but we all know that our desire is to see these people become true worshipers of the one true God! And then, as God is faithful to complete the good work that He begins in them, we will see them becoming more and more like Christ!

Deeply Grateful for Your Prayers,

David Hastings

Cowboy Church Prayer Request

Crossbar C Cowboy Church in Benton asks for your prayers -

Greetings Faithful Prayer Partners!

 

Spiritual Warfare is a very real element of Church Planting.

Church Planting is all about invading the enemies territory, and at times the Enemy does not like it.

Prayer is one of the main weapons we have in Spiritual Warfare.

SO, thank you again for joining the battle for the lost souls of men and women across Arkansas by praying for new church starts.

 

This week we ask you to pray for a new church start in Walnut Ridge.

The need has been clearly identified by local pastors, a sponsor church is on board, a building is available, and some initial funding has been raised.

We are currently talking to a young couple about moving to Walnut Ridge to begin the work there.

Pray with us this Sunday evening as we meet with this young couple.

Pray that if it is the Lord’s will for them to come, that it will be clear to all.

And pray that if the Lord has another church planter to fill the role, that He will make it known.

 

Pray Pray Pray!
