Prayer Points from ministry leaders around the world:

• Resonate missionaries in Central Asia ask you to pray for believers who are walking alongside seekers and young believers. Pray for guidance and wisdom in their interactions. Ask the seekers and new believers to learn to trust God.
  
  
• Heremakono, a village in Sierra Leone, dismissed the idea of starting a church—not just once, but twice. But today, a church started by Resonate missionary Istifanus Bahago and the CRC of Sierra Leone is growing. Praise God!
  
  
• Pray for a Resonate missionary who works with, mentors, and equips church planters in Eastern Europe. These church planters minister in communities where people’s hearts are often closed to the gospel—but seeds are being planted, and this missionary is seeing growth. Ask the Holy Spirit to work powerfully in many lives so that people may know the hope and love of Christ.
  
  
• New York City was hit hard the coronavirus pandemic early on. Manhattan Vertical Church, a Resonate partner church plant that launched just a year before COVID-19 hit, felt the effects. Give thanks for God's provision through a Resonate grant. Please continue to pray for this community.
  
  
• Resonate missionary James Lee, who serves in campus ministry in Mexico, gives thanks for a fruitful leadership training that was recently conducted online with 113 university students. “The pandemic doesn’t change our identity in Christ. It has helped us to discern more the Spirit of the Lord and follow his direction how to reach out to students who don’t know Jesus as their Savior and Lord,” said a student.
  
  
• As people who generally thrive on personal relationships, church planters spend a lot of time meeting people in their community. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic has made their work especially challenging. Ask God to keep them from being discouraged, and pray that they may be creative and inspired in the work they are doing.

Your Prayer Matters!

We recently asked you to pray for God's work among people from a Muslim background in West Africa. Thank you for praying! One of your Resonate missionaries shared an amazing testimony:

"One man's journey to find his heavenly father was long and laborious. After almost 10 years of earnestly seeking after the truth, an experience with deep, deep spiritual darkness drove him into the Savior's arms. Bold in the Lord and well-versed in Muslim thought process, he quickly led another young man, with a similar long journey, to the Lord. This young man, along with three others, was recently baptized."

Praise God! Please pray for these believers as they continue to grow in relationship with the Living God and share their faith with others!
