Missionaries' Prayer Requests

The Griffith Family

Gordon & Grace

World Partners - SE Asia

  • Pray for our family’s spiritual, physical, and emotional protection as we minister among people from diverse social backgrounds.
  • Please pray for God’s provision for our family, ministry, and travel needs. As 2026 includes significant personal and ministry travel, pray especially as we pursue our first sabbatical in 11 years—learning from other ministry leaders and investing intentionally in our marriage and family through workshops and counseling in Southeast Asia.
  • There are many opportunities and needs surrounding us. Please pray for clear discernment to know where God is calling us to focus our time, energy, and resources.
  • Ministry can be demanding. Please pray that we would have the discipline, margin, and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit to grow in our knowledge of Jesus, be continually transformed into His likeness, walk closely with Him, and live out the fruit of the Spirit in our daily lives.
CEF Olu_Deanna_1

Olu & Deanna

Ventura Child Evangelism Fellowship

  • Bless Deanna and a safe delivery on February 6, for baby Ellie, and strengthen Olu as he supports his family. Praise God for our new office space and the VJF family’s faithful giving. Pray for volunteers, families, committee health, and opportunity to run the CEF trailer ministry at the Ventura Fair.
  • Pray for wisdom and God’s guidance for the midwives and doctors throughout Deanna’s pregnancy, and for His peace to fill our hearts every step of the way. Thank God for CEF Ventura reaching over 3,000 children and 764 professions of faith. Pray for these children and families that they receive God’s Word and experience lasting, life-transforming faith.
  • Pray for Olu supporting the CEF Santa Barbara team, for open doors to Good News Clubs in their local schools, more GNCs in Ventura County, and more laborers to reach children with the Gospel.
  • Pray for God’s financial provision for hospital bills, baby needs, and yearly ministry expenses of $108,000, plus strength and courage to run our race faithfully as we secure resources to reach more children.

Pray First Prayer Focus

JANUARY PRAYER FOCUS — SEEKING DEEPER INTIMACY WITH THE FATHER

PERSONAL REFLECTION: “One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple” (Psalm 27:4).
  • As a Christ-follower, what is that one thing you desire above all others? Is it to dwell in His presence and behold His beauty?
  • Consider taking some time this week to simply rest in Him and focus on the beauty of the Lord.
  • Ask Him, not for things, but to show you more of Himself — to show you His beauty.

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.
  • 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.
