March 2023, Prayers for our Missions
Wayne and Amy – Prayer as our dear partners have opportunities to speak at various conferences, that the LORD is glorified and harvesters come forth to reap what has been sown in our world. May the Wycliffe team honorably hold the Word to the highest standards as they translate accurately for those who have not heard. The next focus is the Epistle to the Hebrews. May the fruits of Amy’s opportunity to work towards her graduate degree at Wheaten be evident in the process as well as the future. LORD, please put all the logistic in place for the transition to spend the first part of the summer in Asia and a move to Illinois in August.
Wayne Craig – Gracious Father, direct Wayne as he prepares for his trip to Africa, may he rest knowing that his appointments and travel are exactly how You have ordained, give him the words and equip him with your Holy Spirit to share the gospel to men. Continue to show him your mighty works with changed lives. Safeguard his marriage, and provide for his needs.

Syd and Andrea Sparks – As they come from the field of labor for your Kingdom, may they not be discouraged during a time of waiting for Your next calling. Please gracious Father, provide for the needs of their family with their move back to their homeland.

Trail’s End Ranch – Your goodness and grace are evident looking back on how You use TER as an arm of the church. We pray for laborers to come forth as counselors to walk with campers in the upcoming season. We thank You for the person who will be digging the well, and ask, LORD, that good water is found. May teaching of living water prevail this summer for those whom you have called.

Eastern Montana Bible Camp – Thank You for the hearts of Your servants to work at a children’s Bible camp. Thank You for all the provision and workers that come. May these 18 acres be holy ground where lives are changed and disciples are made.

Jason and Cassidy/CRU – Father, You have told us that as we make plans, may we prayerfully precede it with “If the LORD wills …” and we ask, Father, for Your will to be done in the making of the summer plans for CRU as it equips young adults to share the gospel. Give the Skjervems good soil so the harvest will be great.
Hope Christian Academy – Father, give the teachers and administrator of the school strength to finish the year well and to not grow weary. May it be evident that you, LORD, created all things, whether it be the universe and all the mathematical ways it works, the intricate parts of the human body, or the immense importance of language where words can give life. May the students not only be equipped to work in the world, but to show the world Jesus.

Youth For Christ - We ask Father:
• that the spiritual director at Home on the Range will come to know the one true God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
• that the move to Dickinson for the Combs family would be smooth.
• God’s affirmation for Aaron and his family as they move and settle in Dickinson.
• may the Combs connect with a Christ-centered community.
• may God be Glorified with the banquet as we celebrate 25 years of His blessings; showing sincere thankfulness for the past, and setting our eyes on Jesus for the future vision of Dickinson YFC.
• may the Holy Spirit empower our speakers as they share.
• may dedicated volunteers come forth to assist with YFC in Dickinson, having a heart for this age group and encouraging them to seek Jesus.

Hope’s Landing – May the telling of stories and the coming together for the fundraising banquet make the community aware of the opportunity that Hope’s Landing provides for those with addiction struggles. Bless the time in the Women’s house with Dawn as she teaches the Biblical foundation of the Truth in the Bible. Praise for a young man that has joined our board as a grant writer and secretary, pray that he would be blessed. Prayer for a young man that has 2 kids and has been sentenced to a federal camp in a neighboring state. He has had much spiritual growth at the men’s house, pray that his kids will be safe. It’s unknown at this time where they will go. Also, pray for safety for him and that he will continue to grow spiritually.
Connect Medical Clinic – Prayer for the needs of the patients. Pray against the enemy that attacks CMC and its mission. Pray for the staff, board, medical directors, and family of support staff that they may have wisdom, discernment, leading, and strength. Father, bless the upcoming banquet. May the speaker, Beth Chase, not only share the sanctity of all life, but the life saving grace of Jesus Christ.

The Connection – As the staff members at the radio station set their eyes on the upcoming concert in April, may they work for Your Kingdom and set their eyes on Jesus as the prize. May this media form be used to touch those that do not know You, and encourage those that do.

Samaritan’s Purse – The size of massive ministry is still small when we gaze at Your Church. Equip this arm of Your church to bring Jesus to those whose life had had a drastic change. As we stand in awe of all that you have provided for Samaritan’s Purse to function, may be know that Your provisions will always be enough and never end.

Peter and Keziah – May the opportunity to teach English in a county that is hostile to the Gospel of Jesus open doors to make a deep and significant impact on students. May these saints make disciples to carry the name of Jesus throughout their country and beyond the borders.

Ukrainian Family - Pray:
• the language barrier will be less as the family learns English and the ways of their new culture.
• Diana flourishes in 5th grade and makes a friend that could extend past the school hours.
• discomforts of Diana’s Crones Disease will ease and they find good medical support.
• for Yaroslav’s health and a good connection with a primary care physician as well as specialists.
• may he enjoy a relationship with his cousins that live in Dickinson (Iuliia and Paul’s children)
• may Halyna come to peace with outside care of her children as she adjusts to her new home.
• Denys is able to find work and that the children can still have Medicaid Help.
We prayerfully ask LORD that you bring this family to a supporting Church community that will walk with them through the wilderness of settling into their new home.

Rasooli Family (ARP) – Pray that the Rasoolis complete the immigration process and become citizens of the United States. May Faroq and Mustafa find a job that they enjoy where the company likes their work. Pray for a healthy baby girl and mom as Sirena carries this new life to the expected due date of July 3, 2023. Please pray they seek to know the One True God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
