Prayer Requests
- Please pray for Justin Brooks who is now recovering from back surgery.
- Please pray for Margaret Crumly, Andrew Crumly’s step-mom, who recently found out that she has cancer and is having surgery on Monday to remove a mass.
- Please pray for our missionaries to the Philippines, the Godsoe family. During 2023, they saw 9,550 people saved and were able to resume several ministries the last quarter of 2023 that were closed down because of Covid!
- Please pray for our missionary to Mexico, Josue Ortiz. April 21 is the grand opening of their 4th church plant in the last 8 years since they arrive in Mexico.
- Local Requests
- Pray that we would have God’s power to do what He has called us to do and that we would not do it in our own ability.
- Pray that God would give us boldness to share the gospel with those who need to hear it.
- Pray that God would open our eyes and hearts to see and love those around us in word and deed who need to know Jesus.
National Requests
- Pray for Christians and churches to be aware of God’s presence transforming their lives, and that they would be surrendered to what God wants to do in them.
- Pray for the next generation to receive truth and live as an example to the believers in seeking after Christ.
- Global Requests
- Taiwan – Population: 23,950,214, – Christian: 2.8%
- Taiwan’s controversial political status causes problems both within China and internationally. Taiwan functions as an independent state, but by law is a province of China. If Taiwan declared independence, it could result in a hostile military response from China. Even without such a declaration, China’s expanding ambitions and increasingly aggressive tone and actions cast a long shadow over this beautiful island. Pray for wisdom for the leaders involved, and for good relations for the long term. Pray that violence would be averted, and that peace would prevail.
- Taiwan remains a stronghold of Buddhism and Taiwanese folk religion. Over 90% of Taiwanese follow some combination of Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, and traditional religions. Buddhism now grows strongly among educated professionals. Most traditional folk religions have many gods, and people pay offerings to ghosts or seek advice from the spirit world. Taiwan remains the only major Han Chinese population in the world without a significant spiritual breakthrough. Visitors from mainland China often comment on the spiritual darkness here.
- Han Chinese, Hakka people in Taiwan – population: 4,319,000
- 70% Ethnic religions – .42% Christian
- The Hakka people exist in many Asian countries including mainland China. There are believers among them in many of these other countries. However, the one place the gospel has not reached them is Taiwan. The Hakka people hold to the ethnic beliefs of their history including ancestor worship.
- Pray that God would use the Hakka people all over the world to take the gospel to those in Taiwan, to free them of the bondage of false religion.
- Pray for the leaders of the Taiwanese Hakka community to open the doors to the gospel. Pray that hearts and minds would be open to the truth and that there would be a powerful movement towards Christ in Taiwan.

Featured Missionary
The Hamilton Family
Ireland
- In January and February, they had five visitors, including a former member who is attending the Wednesday night Bible study on Revelation.
- Their son turned 20, and has applied for dual citizenship, so they ask prayer concerning that.
- Two of their returning visitors are Polish, and although they have witnessed to them, they have not been able to understand what they are saying.
- Another family is bringing their Romanian mother, who is not saved and does not understand English.
- They have been getting out in Limerick, passing out tracts and sharing the Gospel out to those who will listen.
