“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time” (1 Peter 1:3-5 NIV)
Let us pray for all our ServeBeyond/ServeCanada Missionaries & Agents:
Helen Blackburn – Bolivia
Praise the Lord that He is constantly abiding and that our work and support are provided and prayed for. Please continue to pray for Heather and me; for our National workers at the Support Centre; for Lidia, who is new; and for Cayley, who will join us in April, pray for her as she is learning Spanish. Pray for Brayan, Isaac, and Rober in their studies and for Ricardo and Jaime as they work. Pray for me as I teach and organize before returning to Canada. May I be a blessing.
Scott & Karen Wind Vandenberg – Mexico
Please pray for the residents and staff of El Buen Samaritano Seniors Home. Ask God to grant strength, patience, and compassion to caregivers, and comfort, dignity, and peace to each resident. Pray for good health, emotional encouragement, and meaningful connections in daily life. May this home be filled with Christ’s presence, protection, and practical provision for every need.
Jay & Kathy – Montreal
Please pray for more church planters for Quebec! We hold monthly ‘Incubator’ training sessions with church planters and will evaluate four prospective church-planting couples in June. May the Lord guide, provide, and develop new church planters for the neediest province in Canada.
Joy – Creative Access Country
Please pray for the situation in the Middle East, specifically Egypt, to be safe. Please pray for the fundraising I am doing for Easter in order to reach my goal to help the poor people of Egypt.
Sammy Kabyemera – Uganda
April is here, and the time for the upcoming mission trip to Uganda is drawing near. Several ministry programs for April have already been approved and are prayerfully awaiting Sammy’s arrival in Uganda. Pray that the Lord would provide the remaining budget needed for this mission, as about one quarter of the funds have been raised, and three quarters are still needed. Pray that God would stir the hearts of donors to give generously, trusting His promise in Philippians 4:19 and that all be done for His Glory.
Arvid Olson – Ambassador to the Philippines
Please pray for Arvid as he is in the hospital recovering from a fractured sacrum (pelvis). He could be in the hospital for another 3-4 weeks, pray he rests well during this time.
Robert & Leslee Oudman – Nicaragua
Pray for cohesiveness for our team, that we fulfill our role in sharing Jesus to the people God places in our path. Pray for lives to be changed as we teach the application and obedience of Biblical principles to farmers in the region. Pray for intentionality in everything we do. The end goal – to reflect the character of God in all we do.
