  • Pray for Vacation Bible School (VBS) from June 8-12. Pray that more children will participate and come to know God and experience His love through the program. Pray also for all coworkers involved in preparation and service, that God would grant them wisdom, unity, strength, and joy, and that the VBS will be safe and run smoothly.
  • Pray for summer short-term mission trips. Mission teams will travel in mid-June to Kyrgyzstan, Caring Church and Miracle Life Church in Taichung, Taiwan, Tome in Japan, and the West Coast for ministry.
