PRAYER REQUESTS

Winter lives on here in Edmonton, though we get glimpses of spring certain days. While we patiently await the milder weather, we are continuing in the things God has put before us. Here are some of the foremost needs to cover in prayer. Please join us in lifting up these things to our faithful Father.

The Gospel is for believer and non-believer alike. It alone is the power of God for salvation and for keeping us in the truth. Please pray for the Word of God to work effectively in us and through us!!

  • Effective preparation time for Bible study: Dejan is ministering Saturdays, Mondays and Thursdays in the Word.  
  • Personal growth in the Lord: We need daily filling of His Spirit, fresh grace and encouragement.
  • Strengthened family relationships: Though we're "busy" about our daily things we want to have quality interactions and stay close, to be pleasing to the Lord whether anyone else is around or not, and so when we do go out or people come in we will be a blessing.
  • Peace in our home: We are under constant spiritual attack as we seek to live and serve.  We need physical rest and safety, to be godly in our marriage and parenting, and we desire sensitivity in our children's hearts.
  • Outreach in the city: Divine appointments and boldness to share the gospel thoughtfully as we go on prayer walks, meet people on the street and public transport and while handing out tracts.
And last but not least...

  • We would like to include a request here for laborers to join in the work. We are about at the maximum that we are able to do with just the two of us. Our fervent desire and hope is for the Lord to bring at least one other couple or family to share in the work of the ministry to the believers here as well as (and largely) the work of evangelism. This has been weighing greatly on our hearts in the past six weeks or so. As Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, to send forth laborers into His harvest." (Matthew 9:37-38)

By grace,
Dejan and Julie <><
