“The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.”

— James 5:16b

Thank you LGC family for your faithful prayers!

Please let Sharon Stultz know if you have any new prayer requests for publication in the Prayer & Praise email only, at dan@stultzphoto.com by Monday at NOON.

From the Schreibers:

Pray for our ministry to two international students (and their friends) with the CCI program at COD – Eunice (Ghana, West Africa) and Soso (Republic of South Africa). We are also “grandparents” to two MKs who are students at Wheaton College – Karissa from Japan and Katheryne from Malaysia.  Pray we will have the time and energy to mentor them for Jesus.

Pray the Lord will open the door for ministry and witness to the Eritrean community in the Wheaton area.

Pray for our contact and ministry to two Afghan families we know and work with. Pray we will find the time and energy to minister to these families. They need Jesus.

Pray for Dale as he will have to make some important medical decisions in the coming weeks.

Pray for Dale as he will be preparing for a Church Leaders Conference in Burkina Faso, June 10-13. This will be done by means of Video Recordings and by Zoom.  The focus will be on God’s Redemptive Mission to the Nations and in particular the unreached people groups in Burkina Faso.

Pray for Mary as she reaches out to some of the Eritrean women and for Dale as he tries to share Jesus with a young Eritrean man.

From Levi and family:

We rejoice that a man we have been walking with has professed faith. It was a great privilege to recently dunk him under water!

I travel to Canada next week in order to teach a one-week intensive course on Islam at Heritage College and Seminary. We would appreciate your prayers that the course would be used by God to raise up workers for the 10/40 window, to equip believers to witness to unreached peoples who are their neighbors, colleagues, etc. and for Theresa and the girls here while I am away for 10 days.

From the Frasers:

We returned safely home last night without incident. Not sure what was more challenging –our unplanned drive on the “Tail of the Dragon” (US 129 in Tennessee) with our trailer (Yikes!) or the blowing snow and covered roads up north as we neared home. There are actually sports photographers taking your picture on the “Tail.” No photographers last night, though. We are grateful for the Lord’s traveling mercies over these many miles. Thank you for praying.

And thanks again for your prayers for the prison outreach. We are blessed that you are standing with us. We ask that you don’t post the prison update or any of our prayer updates or requests on any social media or share the information outside the praying family.

Last week, we took Abigail to Minneapolis for her flight to Alaska. Please pray for her as she is back at camp.

God is so good.

Other requests:

Pray for those seeking employment.

Pray for the elders and Tom Hephner as they assume the duties of the director of pastoral ministries.

Pray for Israel, Syria and the rest of the Middle East, for Ukraine and for unrest in our nation and for those suffering around the world.

Pray for those at LGC who have unspoken needs.

Pray that our college students and Pre-K – 12 students will know Christ and honor him in all areas of their lives during the school year. Pray for the educators who attend LGC.

Pray for the new administration, for officials in our government on the local, state and national levels – that God would protect their lives and help them to serve with humility and wisdom. Pray they would honor biblical principles in their decisions.

Pray that we as Christians will live without fear and find ways to reach out and encourage others. 

Continue to pray for these areas of need and for people with ongoing health issues:

Pray for many suffering around the world, our nation, our troops, Randy Behnken, Collin Bray, Vodus Campbell, Arlene Difino, Jim & Janice Drechsel, Fran Gouley, Dik Kaiser, Lorraine Kirkland, Nel Lair, Jody Lutes, Rob Marshall, LaRue Mills, Jenny Schmuldt, Dale Schreiber, Dan Stultz, Harry & Jean Williams and those working with our children and young people, friends and family members who may not know the Lord and those with special needs.
