As a church, TCBC seeks to “go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15). In this pursuit, we are connected with and support global partners such as the Booths in Portugal, the Jeremiadosses and Nobles in Uganda, the Schultzes in the Middle East, and the Watsons in South Asia, in addition to organizations such as the International Mission Board. We also work to plant churches nationally with the North American Mission Board and directly support church plants such as City View Church in Atlanta, Overland Church in Fort Collins, and their new church plant in Durango, CO.
Below you’ll find a few prayer requests. Be purposeful to pray for our ministry partners this week.
South Asia
Pray for gospel proclaiming opportunities. Pray the Lord will raise up additional leaders. Pray that God will give our partners favor wherever they go and open doors to share the gospel. Pray the Lord will strengthen the TCBC team who is serving in South Asia this week. Pray for the TCBC team going in May. Pray for a harvest of souls.
Middle East
Pray for open doors of opportunity. Pray for hearts to be open to the gospel. Pray for the faithfulness of those who are serving in this area. Pray against the evil one who seeks to undermine the work there through sickness and resistance. Pray the Lord will encourage and sustain our partners there spiritually.
Uganda
Pray for our partners who are raising up and training indigenous pastors to serve in these villages. Pray that young men and women will receive and embrace the truth of the gospel. Pray that the gospel will find favor among the villages there. Pray that they will turn away from their heathen practices and embrace the gospel. Pray that the TCBC team will be well received and used by the Lord in a mighty way.
National Church Plants
Pray the Lord will raise up additional leaders with Overland Church, Fort Collins. Pray they will continue to send and plan Overland, Durango faithfully. Pray that many in the Fort Collins and Durango communities will respond in faith to the gospel.
