Missionaries' Prayer Requests

Bethesda Homes for Tribal Children

  • Pray for the safety of the children at Bethesda Homes as they return home for Christmas. Children quite often go missing in the mountains. One little boy was brought to us in September because that had happened to his cousin. It’s assumed the cousin was killed. Please pray for their safety.
  • Pray for the children to have boldness and to be Spirit-led to share the Gospel with their families while home for Christmas.
  • Pray for health concerns. First of all, pray for my son Bill’s recuperation after his fall in England. Second, pray for my daughter Jennifer, who is having medical tests. Pray that what she has is something that can be healed. Third, pray for doctors’ appointments that I have coming up.
  • Pray that we will know God’s will in every decision for the farm. Pray we’ll know what to do with the construction rubbish left from the flood. Pray for wisdom as to how to restore the soil and what to plant.

The Alvarez Family

BBFI Uruguay

  • Pray for our church’s growth—spiritually and numerically—as many new believers begin their walk with Christ. Pray for youth to be reached and discipled, and for our pastoral team to be strengthened. Ask the Lord to provide the financial means for our church to support a full-time national pastor.
  • Pray for our family’s spiritual, emotional, and physical health. Pray for safety and fruitful connections during our upcoming furlough, and for God’s protection over our sons as they remain in Uruguay. Lift up our boys as they grow in the Lord and seek His guidance for their studies and future paths.
  • Pray for Lucia and Agustina to grow firm in the faith and become faithful in church attendance. Pray for the Holy Spirit’s guidance in their walk with Christ. Lift up Richard and Camila, new believers facing family challenges, asking God to protect, guide, and strengthen them in this important season.
  • Pray for a harvest of souls in Uruguay, that many we know will come to faith in Christ. Pray also for our building renovation fundraiser, asking the Lord to provide generous contributors so the loan can be paid off quickly and the ministry can move forward unhindered.

DECEMBER PRAYER FOCUS

— GOD'S PEACE

PERSONAL REFLECTION: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27).

  • Praise God that He is the author of peace – a peace that the world can never give.
  • Pray for a continual move of the Holy Spirit across the country that people will discover the peace that can only come through Jesus.
  • Pray for multitudes to trust in Jesus so that they do not live with fear and worry.

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.
