Jeremy and Kylie
Continue to pray for Jeremy and Kylie as the new facility project continues. Pray for their church planting efforts and the ongoing growth and health of the gospel presence in the Middle East. Praise God for His protection and provision.
David and Nicole
Pray for David and Nicole as they have returned home to the states for a short season before returning to their new field of service. Pray that God would sustain them and give them joy, especially in difficulty and trials; that God will give them opportunity and boldness in proclaiming the Gospel, that God will give them wisdom to raise their boys to love him, and that healthy churches will be planted, sustained, and protected.
Peter and Daisy
Peter and Daisy send their thanks for praying for the kids in the gym. Their relationships with them are growing more open as seen in the kid's sharing more of their feelings and thinking. As Peter and Daisy grow in becoming their close mentors please pray for strength and guidance in this work. Please also pray for the individuals they work with who are struggling with schooling and finding their way in life. Please also pray for the reading club they have begun with moms and the weekly discussions they are having about the book and the one it speaks about.
Randy and Shelley Marshall
Friends, thanks for your faithful prayers for camp. We had a great camp with lots of great discussions. We were able to have lots of fun, but also lots of deep spiritual conversations. A number of students want to get involved in our follow-up meetings, want to start reading the Bible and want to meet for deeper discussion. Thanks for praying that they will follow through with those plans. Please pray for Shelley and I as we take a needed vacation to the mountains next week. Camp can be quite exhausting with 17-hour days and lots of activity. Pray for safety in travel and that we can rest well and be ready for the next steps with these students. :)

CROSSWAY ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION CHURCH PLANTS
Golden City Church, Matt and Cheryl. They are deeply grateful to God for the baptisms so far, and for a great meeting space, a great group of families who have joined with them, and for the support of the network.

Skyline Church Denver, Adam and Joanie. They launched Skyline about 2 years ago and by God's favor helped to launched the Golden City Church! God is evidently at work, drawing people together in ways they can’t take credit for, and it is so fun to see how it all comes together for His glory!
Christ Church of Elizabeth, James and Kait. The first year of Christ Church has been a wonderful one. They are a church in the smalltown of Elizabeth, Colorado and are seeing God do some encouraging things. Matters to pray for: new job for Hugh (our other pastor) that allows him to pastor, evangelism and conversion growth, God's provision of a worship pastor, wisdom to equip saints for work of ministry, the formation of true community at CCE, and two men currently in training to be elders; pray for effective preparation of them and their wives for this role.
Crossway San Diego, Tom and Dawn are planting in San Diego with a desire to reach multilingual folks who will be equipped to also reach into Northern Mexico. Please pray for clarity and direction as they are considering relocating in the San Diego area, that they would redirect in a God-glorifying manner to further draw the people they have been influencing close to the Savior, and that these shifts would bring God greater and greater glory as Dawn and
Tom seek to connect, to win, build, and send young leaders from the harvest and for the harvest.
Crossway Boulder, Calder and Amanda. Why Boulder? The most recent NAMB reports on Boulder, suggest that 0.8% of the population are professing believers in Jesus Christ. That’s roughly 850 people in the city limits of Boulder. Pray for laborers to join with them in the harvest, pray for salvations as they labor there, pray for preservation and protection of marriages and faith, pray also for housing, and for a third seasoned elder.
Union Chapel Pueblo, Beck and Lindsey. Please pray for the following: Pray that we would sell our Ft. Collins home for a good and fair price. Pray that we would have enough money to buy a house that is pleasing to Lindsey and helpful for the ministry. Pray that Ryann (their realtor) would see God working in all of this and come to trust Him because of it. Pray for the core team in Pueblo — that they would come together now, build community with whoever is there, and not wait on us to start. Pray for those of us still waiting to get there — that we would keep showing up faithfully where we are: in our neighborhoods, our conversations, our church, and our own home, while we wait. Pray for clarity on timing. We want wisdom — not just to get what we want — but to move in step with what God is actually doing.

Christian Challenge - Isaac and Becca
Key August Prayer Requests
- We attended a national conference august 2-6 in Oklahoma. We are brought 10 students, 8 staff, and our boys also went! Becca cooked for everyone. This conference was a great way to start the year particularly for staff and student leaders who were equipped to see the campus as God sees the campus.
- Aug 13-15 is our student leader retreat. This is the most crucial thing we do with our leaders to prepare them for reaching all the freshmen coming. Pray for them to catch the vision and for protection from distractions from the enemy.
- Aug 19th is move-in day and from that day on we will spend about 2 weeks trying to reach as many of them as we can. Pray for quick and deep connections through all we do.
- Aug 25th is our first bible study. Pray for students to come and for the gospel to be heard, understood, and received by those who do not follow Jesus yet.
