As a church, we love to pray for God's work around the world. Here are some of the ways you can pray for our partners this month!
North American Mission Board
Hispanic church planters across North America are being equipped with tools and experience to reach the continent’s fastest-growing ethnic demographic in their own contexts and using their heart language. These planters’ training extends well beyond the classroom, to the streets and neighborhoods of the communities they intend to reach. Send Network’s Spanish-language residencies train planters to reach Hispanics beyond simply speaking the language. Church planters come out of the residencies ready to fully engage culturally and meet the needs Hispanics face in varying contexts. Please continue to pray for these church planters while they engage in the community and spread the Word of Christ.
King's Hill Church
KHC will be welcoming 16 interns this summer. Please pray their time will be effective, fruitful, and for a long-term commitment after graduation.
International Mission Board
Pastor Bodo is probably the only garbage man in Frankfurt, Germany, with a master’s degree. Bodo planted a church in an economically diverse area of Frankfurt five years ago. And he’s been intentional to make the church, Frankfurt-Süd Projekt (Frankfurt South Project), look like its community and serve the needs of the community.
Bodo was pastor of Frankfurt City Church, a thriving church plant across the city comprised mainly of young business professionals. The demographic is different in the new church. Many of those who attend the church work in the service industry. Most work with their hands. Bodo took a job as a garbage collector to serve the community and get to know the people he is called to reach.
Bodo, a Korean German, admitted that after ministering to professionals, such as lawyers and bankers, for the previous 10 years, he didn’t really know how to disciple those who live and work “across the river,” as locals refer to the area. He was committed though to getting to know them so he could effectively reach them with the gospel. And, in his mind, one of the easiest ways to get to know a community is to take out their trash. Please pray for Bodo’s mission in Germany.

Mully Children's Family
As the drought in Kenya lingers, the Greenhouse Restoration Project is growing more urgent. If money is raised for the greenhouses to be restored, the children and nearby communities will have fresh vegetables as a part of their daily diet—an essential part of their nutrition. Until May 31st, every dollar given up to $60,000 will be doubled. Please pray for this project or donate here.
