Pray With Us
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
— Philippians 4:6 (ESV)
Freedom In Christ
Josh and Mandy have dedicated their lives to making disciples and strengthening the church in East Africa, particularly in Uganda. They serve through Resonate Global Mission alongside Freedom in Christ Ministries, partnering with local pastors and church leaders to equip them with discipleship resources and training so that individuals, families, and entire communities can be transformed by the truth of the gospel.
Their work goes beyond teaching — they walk alongside local churches, helping leaders multiply disciples who live out Jesus’ love in word and deed. A significant part of their ministry has focused on prisons, where they share the gospel and train believers who, in turn, lead worship, start Bible studies, and boldly proclaim Christ’s freedom to others inside and outside prison walls.
Josh and Mandy’s vision is to see Jesus’ church in Uganda equipped to transform the nations — building up leaders who will continue to spread the good news throughout Africa.
Please continue to pray for a smooth recovery, strength for Tim DeKam, and peace and endurance for Tim and Dana in the days ahead.
Please continue to be in prayer for Ama Pena, who remains at DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids. As of this (Thursday) morning, Brenda reported that Ama is being weaned off from the Bipap and oxygen during the day, but that she will most likely still be using the Bipap for support during the night. Please continue to pray that her lungs are strong enough to be without the extra oxygen support.
Please continue to be in prayer for Tracie Pratt as she has ongoing treatments. Pray that she tolerates and responds well to the treatments.
Be mindful of our members who find it difficult to get out during this time of year, especially: Gary VanBuskirk, Marilyn Tacoma, Sandy Pastula, Jeanette Dick, Ruth Brinks, and Judy Heethuis.
