Prayer Requests for the Riverboat Teams

Pray for Ate M, a mother of nine children who is living under the burden of medical bills, flood damage to her home, and the pain of a miscarriage. Pray that God would be her strength and her peace.

Pray for Kuya P, a man who has accepted Christ, followed in baptism, shared his testimony as part of a church service that we held on Sunday morning, and even expressed a desire to continue holding a Bible study in his home multiple times each week after we leave. Pray that he would continue to grow in his faith and recognize the Lord's call for him to step up as a spiritual leader.

Pray for Kuya J, who has accepted Christ and remains on our hearts. Pray that he would grow and learn to own his faith.

Pray for Kuya B, who has prayed to receive Christ and seems to have an understanding of God's Word. Pray that he would find confidence in the Lord to lead others.

Pray for Kuya E, a young man in whom the Spirit is working in a very evident way. Pray that he would become a godly influence on others his age, who seem to be less interested in a relationship with Jesus. Pray that his friends N and B would take interest in studying the Bible.

Pray for Ate V, a woman who is genuine in her faith, and full of emotion. She readily admitted that she is a sinner, and was eager to host others in her home to study the Bible.

Pray for Kuya G, who is already telling others what Jesus has done. Pray that he would continue growing in his faith and making disciples.

Pray for Kuya J, a man with a Muslim background who initially refused to speak the name of Jesus Christ, but later prayed to become a Christian along with his wife. Pray that they would continue to learn to trust God to meet their needs.

Pray for the children who are obviously hungry for scripture. Pray that their decision to follow Christ would continue to define their lives after we leave.

Pray that God would send laborers into these barangays where so many have chosen to follow Jesus.
