“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.
Please continue to pray for John Walker’s
sister, Joanne Walker, who is in the hospital with
an infection. Pray for an accurate diagnosis,
effective treatment and healing.
The Papworths:
Please pray earnestly for the Iranian people in
general and Iranian Christians in particular. In the wake of the 12-day war
between Israel and Iran, the Iranian regime has been escalating repression so
that it’s worse than it was before. Citizens are being stopped at random and
their phones confiscated and searched. If they have
content deemed pro-Israel or mocking the regime, people may simply disappear.
During the recent conflict, Iran’s leadership
imposed a total internet blackout to isolate the population, block Israeli
evacuation alerts and push propaganda that framed Israel as targeting civilians
indiscriminately. They did this to keep people off the streets and instill
fear.
Please pray as if you yourself were living in
Iran. And pray that God will continue to use this repression to cause Iranians
to be even more disgusted with Islam and to seek for truth through Jesus
Christ.
Pray that the Holy Spirit will use our various
Voice of Christ media to show them the truth about Christ. We believe our
ministry is needed more than ever before.
We thank you for the way you folks at the chapel
have been helping us and our team get out the message of the gospel and to
disciple Iranian Christians.
Other
requests:
Praise God for the love and kindness he showed
during recent chapel outreaches that included the English Conversation Club,
VBS (at least two children saved) and the High School Missions Trip. Pray
that the Holy Spirit will continue to work in the hearts and minds of the
children and their families. Pray for upcoming summer outreaches that include Sports
Camp in early August.
Please pray:
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 strength for Christians to 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:
