1) We currently have 52 staff and students participating in four different mission trips. These trips will be wrapping up mid-June. Pray for opportunities to have deep spiritual conversations with local friends and to point them to Christ. Pray also for students as they transition home after these 6 week mission trips.
On Nations Next Door (Ottawa) participants are reaching international students through building cross-cultural friendships and serving their physical, social, and spiritual needs.
In Vietnam we come alongside the local campus ministry to develop genuine friendships and share the gospel with Vietnamese students through English corners, picnics, hanging out, and playing sports together.
On PRAXIS Edmonton we partner with urban ministries focused on reaching vulnerable populations. Participants are stretched to practice being a whole person who lives an integrated life on mission.
In Desert Rain we engage with our partners in the Arab World in local student ministry that is highly relational and puts hospitality at the core.
2) Praise God for a new teammate, Ruby. Pray for her as she raises financial support for the summer and transitions onto our team in the fall.
3) Pray for me to be a leader who is growing in friendship and love for God as well as competency as global missions director.
4) We hope to add 1-2 new mission trip options to our current 7 for 2025. Pray for wisdom and guidance as we explore options.
5) We are hoping to send 6-8 global interns to Desert Rain and Vietnam in Aug 2025 for 8 months. As we promote this opportunity over the next year, pray that God would raise up interested graduating students to go.
One of our goals as a global missions team is to help students care about what God is doing around the world. That is why my team, along with our Strategies and Operations department, created an interactive map to help us pray for the world as a ministry. If you want to help us pray for the entire world, head to p2c.sh/prayfortheworld.
