VJF Missions Prayer Requests
Peter & Zorka Abrman
BBFI Slovakia
- Feb 2 - Pray for our outreach to Filipino professionals working in tech companies in our town. This group includes singles as well as married couples. Several of them profess Christ as their Savior, others are “Seekers”. Our goal for them is to ease the hurdles of living in a foreign country and present Jesus Christ as their Savior.
- Feb 9 - Pray for our continuing Spanish outreach ministry among children, teenagers, and young adults led by Loredana, our missionary partner from Mexico. Last week we celebrated her 8th year of ministry in Slovakia – a very, very precious and dedicated young lady!
- Feb 16 - Pray for the Ukrainian refugees that we have been sheltering in our church for more than three years.
- Feb 23 - We ask God’s wisdom and the necessary finances to convert approximately 750sqft of attic space for multi-purpose use, such as Sunday school classes, and/or short-term housing accommodations.
Olu & Deanna Adefope
Child Evangelism Fellowship
- Feb 2 - Prayer for wisdom and God's guidance as we navigate a new challenge of a satanic club that started at one of our Good News Club schools in Ojai (Topa Topa Elementary School). Pray that the Lord will use what the enemy meant for evil for good as this will bring more awareness for parents about GNC. This has been the result in the 9 other locations across the nation where the satanic clubs are being held.
- Feb 9 - Prayer for protection for the children who attend Good News Clubs and their families. Please pray that more children will enroll in GNC across Ventura County. We are praying for more Bibles for the children
- Feb 16 - Prayer for our volunteers and their families; our committee members, and staff. Please pray that the Lord will send more laborers into His vineyard as we need more workers for 3 of our clubs.
- Feb 23 - Prayers for our director, Olu, and his family; for God's provision as we prayerfully want to grow our family soon. Pray for renewal of strength, mind, and focus on the ministry God has entrusted us with. Pray for Evelyn (our little girl) to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ. Pray for Olu's sister (Grace) who had a brain aneurysm last year and is currently recovering in a care facility.
MCUSA Pray First! Prayer Focus & World Partners
FEBRUARY PRAYER FOCUS
— PURSUING HOLINESS
PERSONAL REFLECTION: “Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day” (Psalm 25:4-5).
- Celebrate the leading of the Lord in your life.
- Ask Him to examine your heart. Are His ways, His path, and His truth the desires of your heart?
- Would you be willing to wait on Him all day? Today?
- In your time of quiet, praise Him for your salvation.
Ukrainian refugees or de facto missionaries?
World Partners' missionary Edward Kim is seeing the Lord move among the Ukrainian refugees in Germany. See how they are overcoming hardship and loss by focusing on Jesus.
Pray with us this week:
- Ask God to heal the many VJF members struggling with pain, cancer, the side effects of chemotherapy, and other physical and mental health issues.
- Pray for our pastors as they share the Word. Ask God’s Spirit to move within them, giving them boldness and clarity as they speak. Ultimately, pray that God is glorified through them.
- Pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu, for God to give him wisdom. Pray for Israeli soldiers as they rightly defend their country. Pray for all those who lost loved ones and those who are still hostages in Gaza. Pray for Israelis to come before the Almighty God and cling to Him to find peace amid turmoil in Jesus the Messiah.
- Pray for Ukrainian families suffering from the trauma of losing their homes and loved ones, and the many missionaries who are tending to both their spiritual and physical needs each day.
- For our missionaries, pray for their strength and perseverance to run the race; that the Lord will bring people across their path who would encourage and uplift them.
- Pray for God’s provision over their family and ministry; for His protection against illness, injury, and danger.
- Pray that the joy of the Lord will sustain our missionaries in every trial and setback; that the light of God would shine through them, lifting darkness and oppression as they share His love.
- Ask the Lord to make fertile ground and prepare hearts to receive the gospel; that He set up divine appointments and open doors for ministry that only He can make possible.
