Shahid and Maroofa Kamal, Delta, British Columbia
Shahid and his wife, Maroofa, spend their lives introducing God to the more than 300,000 South Asian immigrants who call the Greater Vancouver area home.
“Our prayer ministry is one of the successful connecting points,” Shahid said. “Many came to our church for the very first time for prayer. They have specific prayer requests. And, praise God, God answered them and showed them that He’s a living God.”
Prayer Requests:
● Pray for the church’s prayer ministry to continue to open doors for the gospel.
● Pray for South Asians in Surrey to be drawn toward Jesus.
Matthew and Annie Delaughter, Immanuel Community Church, New Orleans, LA)
June of this year will mark the fifth anniversary for Immanuel Community Church. This is a big year for Immanuel as the church sent out the Cunninghams to Kenya in February of 2021, plan to start construction on their church building in June, and plan to send the Hannas out to plant Harvest Church in Treme and continue the work Immanuel started there.
Prayer Requests:
● Given the increase in building material costs, pray for labor and material costs to be cut this summer through volunteer labor and other means.
● Pray that the Lord will graciously strengthen Immanuel and Harvest as those in the core group of Harvest go back to the first stages of planting and as Immanuel loses some of its strongest leaders.
