"When we work, we work. When we pray, God works." - HUDSON TAYLOR
Thank you for your faithful prayers each month. Your intercession is a vital part of our ministry and means more than we can express.
We are now using a simple new format—first sharing prayer requests for our family, and then specific ways you can pray for the Thai people we serve and love. We hope this helps you pray more personally and purposefully.
Prayer Requests for Our Family:
- Continue to pray for Janaya to be surrounded by God's peace-asking for healing from her daily headaches, confidence in her studies, and freedom from anxiety.
- Continue to pray for renewed strength, joy, and clarity as Joel, Kelly, and Janaya serve together and seek God's guidance in life and ministry.
- For Joel's continued good health - praise God that a recent precautionary MRI showed no signs of prostate cancer despite earlier elevated PSA levels.
- Continue to pray those who received New Testaments during Safe Journey would read them and be drawn to Christ.
- For protection and fruitfulness in upcoming Safe Journey outreaches.
- Continue to pray that Safe Journey continues to impact communities, reducing motorcycle-related injuries and saving lives.
- For the Thai people to have open hearts and a growing curiosity about Jesus as they encounter His love through our presence and witness.
- Continue to pray for wisdom, favor, and provision as we move toward launching the Rhythms in Motion (RIM) online store - asking that every detail comes together in God's perfect timing.
- For divine appointments and Spirit-led boldness in sharing the Gospel in natural and culturally sensitive ways.
- For Thai believers to shine bigly and share their faith courageously and with their families and communities.
- Pray that the Holy Spirit softens the hearts of Thai Buddhists, removing spiritual blindness and preparing them to receive the truth of Christ.
- Continue to pray - with the passing of our board chairman, Dean Stacy, this past March 1st, please pray that God would provide the right person to step into this role at Extend International—someone with wisdom, vision, and a heart for the mission.
- For increased monthly support and one-time gifts, which help sustain our presence on the field and provide essential funding for ongoing ministry outreach.
- Monthly reminder (to help with effective, detailed prayer): We have an "Intercede for Thailand" Facebook page (private group), located at https://www.facebook.com/groups/558335915595383: Please "like" and join us in interceding for Thailand. Updated weekly, you'll find more specific prayers for Thailand on this FB page.
