Prayer Support

John 14:13-14

Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

Invitation To Pray

As we seek to follow Jesus into the pursuit of pastoral ministry, we are gripped by a sense of dependence on Him to empower, equip, guide, teach, and sustain us. We are confident that the path we walk is not of our own making or choosing, and therefore want to walk it with ever-greater degrees of prayerfulness. We invite you, brothers and sisters, to do the same for us. The Creator and Sustainer of the universe, Giver of all good things, has purposed the prayers of his people to be a means of His acting in the world. What a privilege!

A Tool For Consistency

We have learned that prayer can be hard in the midst of our fast-paced lives. It requires intentionality to set time aside to focus our whole attention on the Lord. For our mutual encouragement to pray, below is a button to a simple form where you can sign up for a day of the week on which you will be striving to pray for us. We in no way want to encourage legalism. There are no requirements. This is simply a tool to help encourage consistent prayer, while also greatly encouraging us who need to be reminded of all the people we have praying for us on this journey. There will also be a place to put your email address. Our goal is to send monthly update emails which will also link you to this site.

Answers To Prayers

Nathan was connected to a pastor of a local church which has a long-standing four-year apprenticeship program for men seeking to be trained to be pastors. We plan to attend there the first Sunday we arrive and see if this is where the Lord wants us to do life with a local body of believers.
