Lift up Christopher Robins, who is planting First Presbyterian Church of San Francisco. The work has flourished this summer and they have outgrown their worship space. Their prayer is that God will choose the place he wants for his worship. Join them in praising God for conversions, growth, and increased support. Please pray for revival in the city, the end of spiritual darkness there, and wisdom for their pastor as he is going through an especially difficult time this year. Pray that the glory of Christ will become the glory of San Francisco.

MNA Chaplain Ministries is grateful for the faithful prayer support for our PCA Chaplains, their families, their ministries, and those they serve:

• Please pray with thanksgiving for 10 exciting years of ministry, for the 500+ PCA congregations who are reaching out with intentionality to people touched by disability and for Spirit-led strategic planning for the next 10 years.
• Pray that congregations will even better understand the heart of disability ministry as a result of the change of our name to MNA Equal Concern Disability Ministries on January 1, 2017.

Join with  Mosaic Community Church in  Silver Spring MD as they give thanks for the new faith community developing just outside Washington DC.

Pray for Church Planter Joel St. Clair and his family as they engage neighbors with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray for their new intern, Dan Sung and his wife Michelle, for a smooth transition and effective ministry. Pray for Aubrey and Danny Edwards-Luce for wisdom as they look for church planting sites.

Pray for MNA Hispanic American Ministries:

• Pray for many more laborers join our efforts to reach Hispanics with the gospel, so that a church planting movement will become a reality.
• The United States has the second largest Hispanic population of any nation in the world. Pray for more resources to plant new PCA Hispanic churches.
• Nearly one in four Hispanic converts to Christianity are former Roman Catholics. Pray for our PCA Hispanic Churches and missions to continue with their strong commitment to evangelism.

 

Please pray with Church Planter Richard Hong of New Life Fremont in Fremont CA for the excitement, fellowship, and spiritual growth they experienced this fall in their community groups. Pray also for blessings on their February winter retreat. Please pray for the gospel of the kingdom to work powerful life change in all their hearts! 

• Cooperative efforts in planting new churches and beginning new RUF campus ministries in the same locations, such as new works in San Jose CA (Jaimeson Stockhaus and Brian Tsui) and Madison WI (Matt Grimsley and Danny Hindman).
• Church planting mentors as they work with church planting apprentices; please pray for men currently mentoring apprentices, including Tim Lien in California, Ryan McVicar in Michigan, Jeremy McKeen in Florida, and Dan Breed and Dan Jackson in Wisconsin. There are often 30 apprentices serving, on average, in any given calendar year.
• Church planter training events which fuel the mission by giving church planters practical resources reflecting our core values of prayer, evangelism, mercy and justice, team ministry, and diversity. The next church planter training event is scheduled for February 14-17. Please pray for attendees and those providing the training.

Be in prayer with Lighthouse Church and Church Planter Scott McDowell as they continue into their second year of Sunday morning services in the neighborhood movie theater of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Pray for those in the community who have received mailings. Pray for the multiplication of more leaders in the church and its community groups as well as the addition of two ministry interns.  Rejoice with them for two recent conversions and continue to pray for the conversion of the many not-yet believers who are coming because of friends. 

 

Please pray for MNA SecondCareer Ministry Director Gary Ogrosky as well as for the volunteers, staff, and church planters and ministries they are supporting.  Specifically:

Join with Church Planter Chad Grindstaff of Living Hope in Fairfield Township OH in praying for continued wisdom as they seek to reach their community.  Pray that God will use the opportunities they are involved with (e.g. a Christmas Store at the school where they meet).  Pray also for the continued "faithful presence" of the church members with those around them - that they will take steps of faith in sharing the Good News.  Pray also for wisdom as they continue to grow and for their next steps as a mission church. 

Join Church Planter Bob Willetts of Grace Presbyterian in Chesapeake VA in thanks for the unity in their new church. They seek to reach every man, woman, and child in Chesapeake with the gospel.  Pray for open doors for the gospel to penetrate their community, for boldness in proclaiming the gospel, and for deliverance from wicked men who seek to thwart God's kingdom.  Finally, pray for their Christianity Explored outreach course.

Pray for MNA African American Ministries and its Coordinator Wy Plummer:

Pray with  Church Planter Leonard Liu  of  Evergreen Community Church  in  Powhatan VA,  as they purchased land this past September.  This is a big step of faith for them, and they pray that the Lord will be honored and his people encouraged.

Please continue to pray for Mosaic Church in Albuquerque NM and Church Planter Adam Viramontes, along with his wife (Heather) and two boys (Jadon and Micah). God continues to show his favor to their young church plant. They recently celebrated a special Sunday with 9 baptisms (8 professions of faith and 1 covenantal baptism). Their attendance continues to grow every Sunday. Please ask the Lord continue to add to their numbers through new conversions. Ask the Lord to bring clarity and conviction as they reach out to the city with the power of the gospel. Ask God to raise up godly and mature men to shepherd and lead this church.
