Current Prayer Requests

Thank you for being committed to unleashing God’s power through your prayers! On behalf of church planters and children around the world, I am so grateful for what you do!

In the month of June, we want to focus on Kingdom Diversity. Stadia is committed to helping launch new churches throughout the United States and around the world that reflect God’s kingdom as portrayed in the book of Revelation – where there will be people gathered from every tribe, tongue, and nation worshiping our Father. Please join me in praying that Stadia becomes more effective at working with church planters and reaching people from every ethnic group and socioeconomic class around the world.

We won’t stop praying, until every child has a church!

Previous Requests

May 2023

National Day of Prayer is recognized on May 4th and in honor of that, I want to take a moment to thank you for being a prayer partner of Stadia. Thank you for praying for Stadia, church planters, and for the multiplication of churches around the world.

This month I would love us to focus on church multiplication. Only 8% of churches in the United States are involved in any type of multiplication – starting new churches, new campuses, or raising up new-church leaders. We are trying to raise that number dramatically. Please join us in praying that God would raise up leaders who can be multiplied to be new-church starters and new-campus leaders. Please also join us in praying for God to work in the hearts of current church leaders to get them inspired and excited about church multiplication.

Healthy organisms typically give birth, and we want to make sure that new churches as an organism, as the body of Christ, are giving birth to new churches throughout the United States and around the world.

Thank you for joining me in praying for church multiplication on this National Day of prayer and throughout the month.

April 2023

Thank you for joining me, the Stadia team, and thousands of others around the world in praying for new church start-ups. Your prayers are what unleashes the power of God throughout the world.

Easter is just around the corner. Let me be vulnerable with you….my mom passed from this life into the full presence of Jesus just a few weeks ago. This Easter, April 9th, would have been my mom’s birthday. She loved spring — she loved daffodils, she loved the colors, she loved the newness of life that would spring forth in Northern Ohio — she also loved spring because she loved Easter. She loved Jesus and the resurrection experience and the hope that He brings.

So, when mom passed from this life, I had the assurance that I would see her again fully in the presence of Jesus. As you know, billions of people on this planet do not have that hope this Easter. Please join me in praying for church planters and new churches. Please pray for church planters, that they would have clarity in presenting the good news of Jesus Christ. And please pray that their churches would be full of outreach — that people would invite their friends and share the hope of Jesus.

I am grateful for you and for your prayers for church planters and new church startups this season.

March 2023

Thank you for being committed to praying for God’s kingdom advancement through new church start-ups and church multiplication throughout the United States and around the world.

This month, I would love us to focus our prayers on women in church planting.

There are many women starting and leading new churches in India and South America, and in the United States as well. Please join me in praying for women who are lead planters of new churches.

There are also many women who are in support roles as wives of church planters. They are leading worship, children’s ministry, managing administration, and raising kids. Please join me in praying for these women who are also on the frontlines of new church start-ups.

We know that Satan attacks marriages of new-church leaders, so please join me in praying for women in church planting and their marriages. Would you pray that God would help them to build the Godly character needed to sustain their marriage through the challenges of a new-church start. And that they would love their husbands in a way that honors God and lifts him up.

This week is the Exponential Church Planting conference, and Stadia is hosting multiple gatherings focused on women in church planting, including the Bloom Breakfast and a gathering to better understand the unique opportunities and challenges facing women in church planting. Please join me in praying for the fruitfulness of these gatherings.

Thank you for joining me this month in praying for women who are involved in starting and leading new churches!
