Do not worry about anything, but in everything

by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving

let your requests be made known to God.

— Philippians 4:6 —

Each week a different IMC church will be selected alphabetically for the expressed purpose of garnering focused prayer for the unique calling that has come to that “featured” congregation.


For those that have websites, links to those sites will be created.


Additionally, featured congregations will be notified in advance so that there’s opportunity to gather special stories, news items, or prayer requests in addition to the information that is already posted on their respective websites.

Continue to pray for Sonido de Alabanza This congregation together with its leadership team is working hard to secure a building which they believe has been given them as a new sanctuary and worship site. They are experiencing much difficulty in working with city officials in acquiring a permit to operate a church in this building. Pray that God would make a way. Pray that all parties involved would yield to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Clearly, their journey is not an easy one. May they experience ever-increasing clarity about next steps, about how to successfully navigate the political terrain ahead, and, as far as depends on them, how to live peaceably with all they deal with. May they experience much success in this. Please keep them in prayer!

Please pray for healing!

Our dear sister and “IMC Prayer Advocate” Elaine Bryant has called us to prayer; this time for herself. It turns out her white blood count calls for a new round of chemo-therapy. We have rejoiced in her recovery before — we will anticipate God’s healing touch yet again. Please join together in holding Elaine up in prayer. May God’s grace and mercy be an abundantly comforting reality during this trying time.
