Middle East

Dan and Moni are currently back in the U.S. for a season preparing for what God has in store for them next. Prior to returning to the states, God saved three new MBBs (Muslim Background Believers). They rejoice and praise the Father for saving these new Christians who are now being discipled and cared for by their teammates that continue laboring in the country.

After completing their time and returning to the U.S., they are excited to share that their sending organization has reassigned them to a new location. They will still be in the Middle East, but they will change countries and cities. It is bittersweet as they love their country and their friends there, but they are eager to see how the Lord will use their skills and talents for His glory in a new place.  

  • Praise God for the three new believers and pray that they would be built up into mature faith.
  • Pray for a good transition into their new location as they prepare to leave.
  • Pray that Moni’s recent cataract surgery heal quickly, and that it would not delay their return.

Luke & Sarah Williams // LaGrange, OH

Luke has been an Associate Pastor at First Baptist Church (FBC) in LaGrange, Ohio, since 2016. He and his family have been faithfully serving the church since then, and the Lord has brought a lot of fruit and maturity to the body as a result.

Recently, the Williams asked for prayer for unbelievers, young believers, and immature believers who were attending FBC church services. By God’s grace, they can now say that from people in those groups there have been new conversions, new members, and real growth in godliness. Praise the Lord! As this season of fruit continues, they are continuing to pray that more people would be converted and brought into membership at the church. 

  • Pray for leadership development to be fruitful at FBC and to produce capable, godly leaders. 
  • Pray for continued endurance and wisdom for the Williams as they seek to serve the people of FBC.
  • Pray for Sarah as she is pregnant with their fifth child and is due in August. Pray that the family would transition well into being a family of seven.

  • There is no shortage of opportunities for church members in Louisville to serve refugee families in their resettlement process. Pray that God would raise up many Christians to offer them a helping hand.
