Outreach Prayer Guide

Yucatán, Mexico Outreach

In June, both our High School team and our All Church team had the opportunity to serve in the village of Chikindzonot, Yucatán, partnering with the local church and Mission House to share the hope of the gospel. Throughout the two weeks, the teams participated in VBS, sports ministry, men’s and women’s ministry and home visits. We are grateful to see God working through these efforts, with several people placing their faith in Christ and multiple taking the next step of obedience through baptism.

Please continue praying for the local church, especially Pastor Alejandro and his family, as they faithfully shepherd believers in a village where choosing to follow Christ can often lead to rejection and isolation from family and the community. Pray that God would strengthen and encourage the ministry workers as they continue discipling new believers and faithfully sharing the gospel. Ask the Lord to soften the hearts of the people in Chikindzonot, open doors for meaningful conversations and continue bearing fruit through the ongoing work of Mission House.

Mozambique Outreach (Michael Boso, Volunteer Country Director)

Praise God for the incredible ways He has been working through this summer's mission teams in Mozambique! Our team from The Chapel had the opportunity to partner with local churches through evangelistic crusades, door-to-door outreach, children's ministry, women's discipleship, open-air market evangelism, baptism classes and home visits to pray for the sick. Hundreds attended the crusades, many professed faith in Christ and 56 new believers were baptized and connected with local churches for ongoing discipleship.

Please continue praying for the remaining teams serving in Mozambique, asking God to give them strength, wisdom and boldness as they share the gospel. Pray for the new believers as they grow in their faith and become rooted in their local churches. Continue to pray for the pastors and church leaders who will disciple them, and that God would continue to soften hearts and bring many more people to faith through these ongoing ministry efforts.

India Outreach (Doug Lauer, Volunteer Country Director)

Please continue praying for our ministry partners in India as they faithfully serve in a challenging and often difficult environment. Despite the obstacles they face, they remain committed to sharing the hope of the gospel, caring for vulnerable people and meeting both physical and spiritual needs in their communities.

Pray for God's wisdom, strength and protection over the pastors, ministry leaders and their families as they encourage local believers and continue the work God has called them to. Ask the Lord to sustain them, give them courage and provide opportunities for the gospel to take root in the hearts of those they serve.

Please also pray for the outreach ministries that provide education, vocational training, medical care and support for women and children in vulnerable situations. Pray that these ministries would continue to be well-resourced and that those they serve would experience healing, hope and the transforming love of Christ. Ask God to raise up future leaders through these efforts and to continue opening doors for lives and communities to be changed.

Finally, pray that God would soften hearts throughout India, strengthen the local church and continue to provide unity, perseverance and encouragement for those faithfully serving Him.

Cambodia Outreach (Nancy Beres, Volunteer Country Director)

Please pray for the following college students, from the BB11 home, that they will be persistent and diligent in their studies. Also, that they would learn to prioritize their time wisely and continue attending Sunday worship services.

A meeting was held in late May by Savorn Ou, director of Asia's Hope, for 68 Christian leaders from different churches, denominations and organizations. Please pray that these leaders would carry his message of rejoicing in the Lord, Philippians 4:4 to the people of Battam Bang.

Please pray for good health and safety for Savorn and his wife, Sony, as they are flying to the U.S. in July to visit the churches and people that support Asia's Hope Cambodia. Pray that the Lord give them the energy they need as they will be visiting Arizona, North Carolina, Ohio and Missouri. May their time here be blessed.
