Mission Prayers

Pray for the 'K' family serving in the Middle East 


Please pray for our mission partner, the K. family, serving in the Middle East. Working with media, they introduce Arabic speakers to Jesus through creative campaigns, online counseling, developing personal relationships across media and more. They currently have a sports campaign underway that has been successful in North and East Africa. They have been instrumental in the formation of house fellowships in several countries.


They ask that we pray for the following:

  • Protection over the children.
  • God will give us more people who are open to hear the Gospel and willing to accept Him as a savior.
  • To find national Christians from a Muslim background who are willing to be bold and share their testimonies before the camera and willing to be seen in media to encourage others. Fear is a huge obstacle to reach out to Arab Muslims.
  • To have more leaders and elders for the new house fellowships so they can move on and lead in the future.
  • Endurance of persecution for new believers in the whole Arab World.

They miss their children who are in the U.S. for school and work, so we pray for good communication between them, and we ask God that they will have good in-person times as well. We pray that the Lord guard their health as they have faced many challenges over many years. Praise God for how he has used them, cared for them, comforted them, and given them the wisdom and perseverance they have needed to grow God’s people as followers of Jesus.
