If you want to be part of the Unseen Backup Prayer Team for our church (different than the one for the police dept.), please either reach out to Pastor Tom or leave a message in the church office.

Church Unseen Backup Prayer Team, please pray: 

1. Daily for persecuted Christians through the VOM app. 

2. For the members and regular attenders of our church through the MEFC daily prayer guide Scripture prayers. (available on wall display leading into the west wing)

3. For boys and girls to come to know Jesus Christ and to grow in him through our children’s ministries. 

4. For people to hear and respond to the music and preaching during Sunday morning services. 

5. For wisdom and fruitful ministry by Sandwell and Abigail Zgambo at Ambassador Int’l. University, and through their orphan care ministry. 

6. Give thanks to God for Christians in your family and our faith family since God has qualified us to share in his inheritance, he has delivered us from Satan’s dominion, and he has brought us into the kingdom of his Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Col. 1:12-14). 

7. In reference to human trafficking: that traffickers and buyers will find their transactions interrupted and their wicked plans frustrated (Ps. 9:16, 10:15, 146:9). will see the reality of what they are doing and seek help (Phil. 2:3–4; 1 Cor. 6:18–20).

8. Guidance for our city council. 

9. That God would supply an Administrative Assistant for our church. 

10. Any other requests that emerge from your Bible Fellowship, Iron Man/Woman team, or family.
