“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.

The Luibrands:

We will depart from Turkey on Wednesday evening and arrive in NJ late that night. After spending eight days in NJ, we will drive down the East Coast and back for a week.

From there we will fly to Chicago to enjoy fellowship with all of you at LGC on July 6 and 13, Lord willing!

We would appreciate prayer as we prepare for this trip, for God’s protection in all this and for divine appointments and blessed times of fellowship and ministry with various believers along the way. 

Thanks for lifting us up.

Other requests

Please pray:

For VBS – the leadership team, volunteers, joy in service, protection and safety, impactful lessons, salvation of children and outreach to families, spiritual growth, that Christ would be glorified.

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.
