Dear Praying Friends,

We are so thankful for you brothers and sisters following God. We are praising God because He is laying out the work He has for us to do: pray for each tribe, tongue nation and people group world-wide (Revelation 7:9-10), and serve as He leads.

God continues to fulfill His word in reaching the nations. He is doing it through your prayers and actions.

Isaiah 11:9b For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

Psalm 72:19 And blessed be His glorious name forever; and may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.

One challenge God is giving us is to pray for those around us in a 360 degree radius from where we are. Think of the states or the countries that you could pray for as you turn in a circle from where you are right now. 

When can you Pray 360? All the time and any time your Heavenly Father guides you. We know you want to listen to the Lord and He is ready to listen to you, His dear child.

Where can you Pray 360? Wherever you are, God is with you. One of His names is Emmanuel: God with us. 

How can you Pray 360? Ask God to continue to reveal Himself through His Word, songs, dreams and His visions so all the nations can know He is the true and living God. Join God in His desire for every person on earth to have a relationship with Him, to walk in faith and give Him the glory! 

(1) Picture in your mind the people and the places God wants you to bless so the whole world is covered in praise and prayer.

(2) Ask and receive how God wants you to pray for a particular people/place and pray until He answers.

(3) Let the spirit of grace, supplication and prayer move in you to pray with God’s love for those where you live and then around the world.

Please let us know what God shows you as you pray so we can go forward together following our King and making disciples as He leads. 

We will be returning to join our family in Moldova in August and Nicaragua in September. Please see the pictures below; there are still needs to be met! 

Please, pray for the people God wants us to learn from and those we are to share about His Son, Jesus. 

Colossians 1:29 Jesus in you is the hope of glory! We ask God that all of us can carry the glory of God as we go so we can 

Ephesians 1 Be a praise to Him in all of the world.  

We would be so glad if you became more involved with PFOTBG. We need more volunteers to meet the needs of sending letters and materials and intercessors for each tribe, nation, and people group.  We ask you to pray and join us for sponsorship of laborers and children/youth, and on ministry trips. Please contact us.

Dear Praying Friends,

            We are so appreciative of you! Thank you for your prayers; we count on them as we go forward. Continue to pray for our nation and the other nations of the world to know God’s love, light and life – Know that we are joining with you in this prayer. We need Him to lead us now more than ever before so we can walk by faith.

Our desire and God’s desire, is that every continent, country, tribe, and people group would be prayed for around the world. We are asking God for each person to know and receive Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Son of Man and as his/her Savior and Lord. Would you join us in this vision for 2016? If you will, pray for a specific continent, country, tribe, and/or people group and camp. We would love to know how you are praying - please call us at (423) 718-2810 or email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We have included a bookmark with this letter to help guide us as we pray for the whole world and follow through with this great task. Please write on your bookmark and keep it in a handy place! We trust that God wants to answer our prayers!

After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number,

of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and

before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and

crying out with a loud voice, saying,

"Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Revelation 7:9-10

In addition to praying for all the nations, we are also praying specifically for camps, outreaches, and VBS opportunities around the world. These various venues are a major way believers are being encouraged and equipped to share the gospel and unbelievers are being reached for Christ. Also, we are praying for those on the front lines doing outreaches and sharing the gospel with refugees.

            If you would like more information about donating or joining us as a prayer partner, please let us know by completing page 2 and returning it to us.

You are very precious to us and to the Lord. Let us know how we may pray for you. 

You are invited to pray and, if you feel led, financially support these camps and outreaches. Also, you are always welcome to join us on any of the following mission trips to the ends of the earth. We thank you for the encouragement many of you have given these ministries over the years.
