Prayer Requests from our Lakeside Missionaries
  • Columbia - Missionaries Flynn and Renee Clanton (Main focus: Church Planting/Evangelism) Part of Flynn and Renee's ministry is their evangelism websites. One of them, https://juntosenelcamino.com, has seen an increase in the number of people responding to the Good News of Jesus and requesting follow up from 29 people a day to 43 people a day! Each new believer receives follow-up from one of their ministry team volunteers, such as Edith, pictured here. In the past 5 years, she has personally responded to, prayed for, connected to a church, or discipled over 3,000 women who have responded to the Gospel through this ministry online. Please pray for these people who hear the Gospel online each day and respond to the Good News of Jesus.

  • Missionaries - Many of our missionaries serve in the Ukraine war zone and have committed to stay behind to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the midst of the invasion. There is a total of 48 missionary centers and nearly 100 established churches. Please continue to lift them up in prayer as they provide food, resources and assistance with evacuations during this time of distress.



  • International - Convoy of Hope (Disaster Relief) Prayers are asked for the thousands of Ukrainians being separated from their families and having to flee the country as the war continues, as well as those who partner with Convoy of Hope to bring food, water and supplies for them. Pray for their safety, well being and those they leave behind to fight for their country.
  • Europe -  The spiritual needs across Europe continue to be urgent and compelling. Whether they are secular, Millions of Europeans have never received a personal witness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Pray the Holy Spirit will help Europeans hear the Gospel in a fresh way to free them from the negativity of their secular belief system.
