"When we work, we work. When we pray, God works." - HUDSON TAYLOR
Thank you for your faithful prayers each month. Your intercession is a vital part of our ministry and means more than we can express.
Starting this month, we’ll be using a simple new format—first sharing prayer requests for our family, and then specific ways you can pray for the Thai people we serve and love. We hope this helps you pray more personally and purposefully.
Prayer Requests for Our Family:
- For Joel’s upcoming exploratory trip to Nakhon Phanom—that the Lord would give clear direction and insight.
- For the successful and timely launch of the Rhythms in Motion (RIM) online store.
- For God to provide economic stability for RIM’s participants and to bless the sale of upcoming products.
- For the workers involved in RIM—that they would experience the love of Christ and find hope in Him.
- For Janaya to experience peace, joy, and confidence in her daily life; that she would thrive in her schooling and that her anxiety would be replaced with trust in Him.
- For wisdom and strength for Kelly as she homeschools Janaya and helps her register for courses at Grace International School.
- That Joel, Kelly, and Janaya are strengthened by God’s grace, encouraged in their calling, and given divine clarity as they faithfully lead in ministry.
- For continued spiritual renewal and encouragement for each of us as we serve.
- With the passing of our board chairman, Dean Stacy, on March 1st, please pray that God would provide the right person to step into this role at Extend International—someone with wisdom, vision, and a heart for the mission.
- Ask for unity and wisdom as Extend International navigates leadership transitions and continues its mission.
- That those who received New Testaments during Safe Journey would read them and be drawn to Christ.
- For ongoing spiritual openness following Songkran—that the symbolic washing and renewal would stir a deeper hunger for the truth of Jesus.
- For protection and fruitfulness in upcoming Safe Journey outreaches.
- That Safe Journey continues to impact communities, reducing motorcycle-related injuries and saving lives.
- Ask God to open hearts as families receive Bibles and hear the Gospel through the road-safety training.
- For unity and boldness among Thai Christians as they share their faith.
- For God’s leading and open doors in Nakhon Phanom as we begin to explore future ministry possibilities.
- Pray that RIM would be a place of transformation, where individuals encounter Jesus and grow in faith.
- Pray that the Holy Spirit softens the hearts of Thai Buddhists, removing spiritual blindness and preparing them to receive the truth of Christ.
- Ask God to provide wisdom and cultural sensitivity as we share Jesus with those unfamiliar with Him.
