Supported Worker: Scranton Road Bible Church
Country: United States of America
Details: Pray for the further development of their cell group ministry at church for weekend worship. The number almost tripled from week one to two, but many are still reluctant to come. Many who live in low-income housing projects have it extremely difficult. Pray that the church would not lose connection with those who are stressed, hurting financially, and afraid to come out. Pray for creative outreach this summer with food pantry, books, and neighborhood events. Pray for good gospel engagement at a time when many are nervous about being around people. An adapted Ambassadors Soccer Camp is planned for July 14-17, followed by a July 18 outdoor celebration. Pray for those planning this camp and for many to be blessed during this week of ministry. Belarus (Europe). Evangelical Christians are increasing despite concerted opposition and intensifying persecution. The state steadfastly maintains laws that forbid meeting in homes for worship, forming congregations of less than 20 people, opening religious schools, ministering outside of the home city, and importing and distributing non-state-approved literature. All religious activity must receive state permission. Pray for divine openings and opportunities for those God is calling into Belarus; pray also that the national Church would be specially enabled to evangelize, disciple and minister without the partnership of many foreign Christian workers.
