For continuation of the work of God in Ukraine through all the Calvary Chapels.
For God to continue to strengthen the churches through our ministry, small regional retreats and conferences.

Lindsey Cuen
Pray For:

For our upcoming weddings and marriage- for all the details to come together for the weddings and for the Lord to prepare us for being married and serving him together.
For the city-wide invisible theater ministry- more servants, particularly men.
For a new church building- it would be a miracle from the Lord if we could buy one, but we at least need to rent something bigger.
For more servants in general in the church- more specifically in children’s ministry, translation ministry, greeting ministry, women’s and men’s ministry, etc.

Curt Fuller
Pray for:

For a larger meeting space, with more room for kids ministry.
To use my home for fellowship, discipleship, and even evangelism through hosting. Several international students have joined our church, and at least two former students regularly join us for game nights. Now that we have more space, Lindsey and I want to use it to bless people and foster deeper connections, and introduce them to the love of Christ

Pray for:

Leaders from each discipleship group to begin new groups
Two new team members: a youth worker and an administrator (to free the team to focus on ministry instead of drowning in details)
Increased monthly funding to enable us to add new team members
We are working in five cities, and traveling in pairs everywhere weekly is wearing on our small team of four. Pray for endurance, wisdom, workers for the harvest, and for the people we are disciplining to grow and desire to lead and start new groups.
We are equipping and connecting leaders who are either starting fellowships in several countries in Europe.
Pray for wisdom and that this become a discipleship movement that not really reaches Ukrainians but the residents of their host countries.

Isaac and Emma Nelson
Prayer and Praises:

Praise God for the many students, coaches, and teachers who heard the gospel through the school outreach and soccer clinics in Victoria Falls.
- Prayer: Pray that the seeds planted would continue to grow, and that local Athletes in Action staff would have wisdom and strength as they walk alongside students and schools in ongoing discipleship.
Praise God for the unity and encouragement experienced at the Global LIFE Partner gathering, and for the way He is at work to the ends of the earth.
- Prayer: Pray for continued wisdom and Spirit led power as God uses leaders to go into places where Jesus is not yet known.
Praise God for the growing clarity and momentum around the World Cup ministry vision.

  Thanks!
Prayer for Mobilization and Unity:
- Pray that God would raise up, prepare, and unite 10,000 champions across 100 countries—pastors, coaches, athletes, and leaders—who are deeply rooted in Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to boldly and lovingly share the Gospel. Ask for wisdom, humility, and strong partnerships among national ministries so that this World Cup moment leads to lasting, healthy movements of disciples long after the tournament ends.
Prayer for Open Hearts, the Unreached, and Those Most in Need of Hope:
- Pray that God would go before this effort and open the hearts of millions to receive the Gospel—especially among unreached peoples, persecuted communities, and those living in places where the Good News of the finished work of Christ is least known and most desperately needed. Ask that men and women burdened by fear, injustice, poverty, conflict, and spiritual darkness would encounter the love and hope found only in Jesus.
- Pray that God would lift up the lowly, bring justice and grace where there is brokenness, replace despair with living hope, and draw many to saving faith, revealing His mercy, love, and redeeming power among the nations.

Laci and Keri Nemeth
Pray For:

That the church would get stronger in prayer and fellowship and that we would see a group of new believers this year.
New leaders to rise up and get trained, get involved, me to rise up to challenge, delegate and train well.

James and Abigail Payne
Pray For:

For these dancers who daily live under an immense amount of pressure an uncertainty.
For our director and staﬀ that they would seek the good of the dancers and turn to the Lord for wisdom in how to lead this company.
For us, how to serve and minister to these artists as best as we can.
For financially, we are very much looking for support to go to the Crescendo Summer Institute.
For Estonia to become passionate about the Lord. Estonia is one of the most irreligious countries In the world, and we are definitely able to tell, by the glorification of comfort instead of passion and stepping out in faith. We want to see the Lord move, but spiritual warfare is heavy.
Pray for a revival of passion for Christ in Estonia and pray that we ourselves don’t lose our passion and become discouraged
We would love to take our Bible Study on a weekend long retreat, to learn about silence and solitude with the Lord and about stepping out in faith. This requires time and finances, but we hope the Lord will provide both.
Finishing our ballet that we are choreographing implementing God’s grace and love into the creation and rehearsal process, so that we might be known by our Love and present the love and mercy Jesus provides.

Dan and Andrea Ryder
Pray for:

God to raise up 10 new gospel workers (both short and long term) for Cru Argentina during the first 6 months of the year.
Pray also for the new national leaders to be placed in ministry leadership roles--Family Life, Digital Strategies, and the Jesus Film of Cru need permanent leaders by June.
Our only national leadership retreat of the whole year is this January 25th to 30th. Would you pray for both refreshing and renewing of our staff by God, as well as re-affirming several of our new leaders as they begin their new roles in cities and/or ministries that are new to them? Pray for the many meetings that will take place during this retreat, for clear communication and leaders being placed in the right roles for them.
Personal Prayer: Our daughter Nicole will be getting married on Valentine's Day, to her fiancé Danny. There are many moving parts for Andrea and I to try to organize these last weeks! We're grateful for your prayer support!
