Updated Prayer Requests
INTERNATIONAL MISSIONS
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
They have had some great meetings this past month while in the US for a few weeks. Besides annual business meetings and training at OMS headquarters in Indiana, they also got to participate in the OMS 125th anniversary celebration—“Faithful God, Faithful People, Unfinished Task”. It was great to reconnect with people from all over the world and to hear reports of God at work in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe/Middle East. We travel back to our field of ministry tomorrow. It will be a four-day trip. Thanks for praying for safety in travel and a quick adjustment to the new time zone.

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. Please pray for their outreach to Golden and the campus at Mines, also for the month leading up to their launch, and for another elder to join the team.
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.
Crossway 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.

LOCAL MISSIONS
Christian Challenge - Isaac and Becca
We will be continuing ministry partner development and raising our support goals. As some have dropped, the economy changes and family needs increase, we are looking to reevaluate our budget and set a new goal for our monthly support. This week the boys will be out of home (one at a camp, the other with grandparents) and Becca and I are planning lots of rest, connecting, and getting on the same page in our marriage and parenting.
During the third week of June we anticipate traveling a lot to see family, hopefully a world cup game, and rest while making some of those special connections. The end of June is looking to be the most restful time we have as a family this summer. With the semester a bit away and summer routines more established, please pray we would connect as a family during this time.
Serve 6-8
Serve 6-8 is currently providing food and other supplies around northern Colorado including the Greeley area. In May they served 968 families with 12,980 pounds of food, $20,660 in clothing and $7,400 in financial assistance. Pray the Lord will continue to provide many of the necessary supplies to serve the many people with needs here and in other cities in our area.
Resource Center
Please pray for the RC clients facing pregnancy decisions and for the RC nurses and advocates as the engage with clients. Please also pray for the Baby Bottle campaign, that it would raise needed fund's to continue their ministry in Greeley.
