“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”

— Ephesians 6:18

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.

Pray for all of our college students as they prepare to return to their campuses. Pray that they begin the semester in good health, refreshed and strengthened in their faith.

The Schreibers:

PRAISE:

1.  For the therapist who has solved the problem that Mary was having with vertigo. At least for now Mary is not having any dizziness.

2.  That the Bible college and seminary in Myanmar where Dale has been teaching (in the past in person and now by video recording) is doing well after the sudden death of its Founder and Director Kap Thang.

PRAY:

1.  For the burden the Lord has given us for the people of Eritrea. Ask God to give us creative ways to penetrate this people group with the gospel.

2.  That we will be able to start a Bible study with some Eritreans in and around Wheaton.

3.  For Dale and Emmanuel Kwizera as they prepare for a church leaders’ conference in October. The teaching will be done in French via video recording and Zoom. The conference will be held in Burkina Faso to encourage Church leaders working with resistant people groups in dangerous areas.

4.  That doctors can determine the cause of Dale’s lack of balance and be able to correct it.

5.  For Dale as he records teaching sessions on the Great Commission for a seminary in Myanmar.

6.  For Mary and her contact with a young Eritrean mother of two. S. is a convert from Islam. Pray for Dale as he is reaching out in friendship evangelism with her husband Sh.

7.  For Dale’s preaching ministry at Woodside Bible Chapel. He preached last Sunday (August 3) and will preach again during the next two Sundays (August 10 and 17).

8.  For Dale as he is in discussion with Bible schools as to how he can help them in their teaching program for the coming school year.

9.  For one of our spiritual sons who is director of a Bible school in Ivory Coast. Pray Dale will be able to quickly record his French lessons to share with him. 

THANK YOU, chapel Family, for your spiritual and material support.

The Luibrands:

We are joining the Montana assemblies' Bible camp this week as counselors/campers. We would appreciate prayer for stamina and wisdom with the kids we serve and safety in travel (4 hours each way).

We are all pretty tired from a very full schedule during the last six weeks, but know that God will make this a good time for us too. Pray for his sustaining grace and a good last few days before we return to Turkey.

Other requests

Please pray:

For the leaders, volunteers and kids who attend Sports Camp, the upcoming summer outreach in early August.

For Wilson Daghfal as he becomes director of youth ministries.

For those seeking employment.

For Tom Hephner as he performs the duties of the director of activities; for the elders as they perform the remaining duties of the director of pastoral ministries.

For those suffering around the world, for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine and elsewhere and for unrest in our nation.

For those at LGC who have unspoken needs.

For our college students and Pre-K – 12 students to know Christ and honor him in all areas of their lives. For the educators who attend LGC.

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.

For Christians to live without fear and find ways to reach out and encourage others.
