Prayer and Praise Room

Jeremy will be spending the week in central Illinois this week meeting with people, casting vision for this current season of ministry and inviting many more into partnership in the Gospel through our ministry. Over the next five years we will be laboring to see 300 more missionaries mobilized, equipped, and sent to the unreached, but we can’t do it alone, nor are we called to. Join us in praying for new partnerships and reaching our next ministry financial goal of $2,000/month in new partnerships.

Praise! The power of prayer walking. This came from one of the couples Jeremy and I are working with. Witchcraft is on the rise all over Louisville and really infiltrating businesses. “ We were informed by an individual we know that a business had employees that were involved in daily activities of tarot cards, crystals, and other forms of what I would call witchcraft. These people would also go to another location labeled for its mystical powers. This individual was constantly asked to partake in such activities, but would not. We immediately started prayer walking the town. Other activity in this town included Free Masons, Eastern Star, Rock stores, and book stores that were questionable. We started praying specifically for a young lady within the group who was not completely bought in with the others, (I’ll call her Jill), and God was answering prayers. After church one Sunday, our individual who shared the story with us, was with us in another county eating at a restaurant when Jill showed up out of no where. Introductions were made and after Jill left, we were all reaffirmed that the Lord was working. After weeks of prayer walking, and with specific prayers to break up this group, all 4 ladies no longer work at that business. Jill is working for an another company sympathetic to Christian values and still has a relationship with our individual."

A simple but powerful moment this week. We’re praying and asking the Lord to open doors as we work toward starting a gathering in our apartment complex, a place to simply be the Church, house to house, right where God has placed us. Please pray for “D.” Pray that the Holy Spirit would continue drawing him close, revealing the love and truth of Jesus, and surrounding him with peace, freedom, and hope. Pray that our apartment complex would become a place marked by prayer, community, healing, and the presence of God. We praise God for every conversation, every open door, and every reminder that He is already at work in the people around us. One prayer, one relationship, one step of obedience at a time.

There’s something sobering about seeing this evil and wickedness being openly celebrated in the middle of a family parade. This was yesterday in Louisville. Witches, Horror, Darkness dressed up as entertainment. A reminder that evil rarely hides anymore, it normalizes itself, jokes about itself, and asks to be celebrated. In fact, one of these parade participant ran up to a child to scare him. The child was so scared the family had to immediately leave due to the trauma the child faced. There is a real spiritual battle, and what once stayed in the shadows now walks openly in the streets. There are numerous stories just like this where witchcraft and wickedness is practiced all over Louisville, this includes in businesses! Join us in praying for our team, our house church, and the believers the Lord has connected us with. In a world where darkness is becoming louder and more normalized, may we not become fearful, distracted, numb, or silent. Pray that we would stay grounded in God’s Word, sensitive to the Holy Spirit, and faithful to walk in obedience to Jesus. May we not curse the darkness, but shine so brightly with the love, truth, holiness, and power of Christ that people trapped in deception encounter the freedom and light only Jesus can bring.

Please pray with us🙏

As we prepared to return to Louisville to serve from the home office with Team Expansion, our original plan was to continue partially supporting our financial needs through outside work. Jeremy planned to continue handyman work on the side, and Lindsay intended to pick up PRN nursing shifts. Together, those additional jobs would have covered nearly half of our monthly financial need. But since arriving here, the Lord has filled our plates with ministry opportunities and responsibilities in ways we did not anticipate. More and more, we are sensing His clear direction to place our hands fully to the plow of ministry and not look back. We believe God is calling us to fully devote ourselves to the work of mobilizing, equipping, and sending laborers into the harvest — particularly toward the unreached peoples of the world. Would you join us in praying specifically between now and the end of August for God’s provision and guidance? Please pray: - That the Lord would raise up new ministry partners. -That existing support would increase where God leads. - That He would provide an additional **$4,000 per month** in recurring financial support. - That we would be able to remain fully committed to the mission He has placed before us without being divided by outside work responsibilities. Our prayer is that through this provision, we would be able to continue pouring ourselves fully into the vision God has given us: to see 300 more laborers mobilized, equipped, and sent to help bring the gospel to the unreached over the next 5 years. Thank you for standing with us in prayer. We truly believe this mission belongs not just to us, but to the entire body of Christ as we labor together for the sake of the nations.
