Prayer Focus Spring 2012

Debbie and Dave Bochman

·         Pray for us as we lead/facilitate Aphesis discipleship groups February - May. God is doing some deep things in people's lives (taking the gospel to the uttermost parts of their hearts and minds), but it is clear that inner battles are raging in several people.

Mike Garner

·         Pray for the church in Asia I am helping to oversee. There are over 10 new believers in this house church and we are working on getting them Bibles and study materials. They have a great heart to serve and lead others to our Lord.

·         Pray for the bureaucratic hold ups at San Quentin prison to finally end so that I can train some key inmates in basic counseling skills. This is so desperately needed there, but is being blocked by the powers that be in a power struggle. This could help in the prison so much - pray that hearts are opened and the Lord guides me in adjusting to this rather different environment for me.

·         Pray for protection for my family and I as I continue to pray with people coming out of some very dark backgrounds. And for wisdom and ongoing compassion for those I help who are deeply shattered.

Jerry and Marilyn Hogshead

·         Pray for Jerry as he works with national leaders in Dhaka, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai on the design of potential new partnerships and projects among unreached urban poor.

·         Pray for God’s favor and supply with potential new ministry partners.

Pete and Leslie Holzmann

·         Long Term: Pray with Pete and Leslie (and coworker Cecilia) as they review their ministry history and inquire of the Lord for His strategy for the months and years to come. It is time to assemble a significant initiative to articulate and propagate the spiritual principles of ministry strategy/technology learned over the last decade.

·         April 19-21 Speaking at a national prayer conference in Washington DC, April 19-21. Pray for insight and God's preparation, both for them as speakers and the audience as well.

·         Short Term: strategic planning, and project proposal writing.

·         Pray for much-needed provision. Our primary project that has sustained the ministry is on hiatus for an unknown term, and we don't know of any immediate prospects for income-producing work. Our accounts are dry at work and home, so this is an exciting time :) ... We've been here before, and are trusting God!
