Lindsey Cuen
Praise Reports:
  • A successful outreach at the Christmas market

  • God has provided a beautiful home for Curt and I to live in
 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 a smooth transition as we move Curt, then have our two weddings in April and May and prepare for me to move into the house after we're married
  • 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.
  • Pray for Millie and Julcsi, the youth girls, to grow in the Lord and not stress too much about school.
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
