As we reflect on our August newsletter, we’re reminded of a very pertinent truth: the Lord must be the One who builds the house. As we seek to rely wholly on Him, would you join us in lifting up these prayer requests?
We desire to labor faithfully with what He has entrusted to us while depending completely upon Him to direct our work, open doors, change hearts, strengthen His people, and produce lasting spiritual fruit.
Endure International Praises & Prayer Requests
As the Lord continues to make disciples through media around the world, we invite you to join us in praying for those who are seeking Him, those who are growing in their faith, and the teams who faithfully serve them across all of our various language groups.
Monthly Prayer Requests
Indonesia: Revival, Discipleship & A Strong Church
- Please pray earnestly for our upcoming ministry time in Indonesia and for the pastors and church leaders who will gather with us.
- Ask the Lord to revive, strengthen, and build His Church throughout Indonesia, giving pastors a renewed commitment to intentional biblical discipleship within their churches and small groups.
- Pray that the Lord would use the biblical resources He has entrusted to us as effective tools in the hands of local churches—helping believers become firmly rooted in Scripture and raising up disciples who will disciple others.
- Above all, pray that God Himself would build, directing every meeting, conversation, relationship, and decision according to His purposes.
Pakistan: New Believers & The Marwari People
- We praise God for the work He is doing among Marwari families and for those who have recently professed faith in Christ and publicly followed Him in baptism.
- Please pray for Pastor P and M as they continue ministering among these families. Ask the Lord to firmly establish these new believers in Christ, protect them from discouragement and opposition, and build them into mature disciples who will eventually disciple others.
- Pray also that the Lord would continue opening doors into families and communities that have had little opportunity to hear and understand the Gospel.
M & His Family: Healing, Grace, & Protection
- Please remember our brother M and his family in a special way. Pray for the Lord’s healing and restoring grace upon his wife after a long and difficult season, and that He would surround their entire family with His peace.
- Please also pray for God’s wisdom, protection, and gracious intervention concerning their hopes and decisions regarding future childbirth. May they know His presence and trust His purposes in every circumstance.
Turkish Ministry: P, A, & I Family, Ministry & a New Church
- Please pray for P and A as they faithfully serve the Lord while raising their son, I.
- Ask God to give them wisdom as parents, provide for I’s schooling and other family needs, and give them renewed strength and grace for the ministry He has entrusted to them.
- Pray also for their desire and plans to move to M, where there is currently no church, with the hope of establishing a new church there. Ask the Lord to clearly lead and direct every step, open the doors in His perfect timing, and that He Himself would be the One to build His Church in that city.
Middle East: Peace, Provision & the Work of the Church
- Please continue to remember the people of Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Gaza, Jordan, Iraq, and Palestine, where war, instability, poverty, displacement, and hunger are bringing tremendous suffering and creating significant challenges for the Church and the spread of the Gospel.
- Pray especially for our ministry leaders R, P, N, H, and T, along with our partners, churches, and their families throughout the region. Many are serving under extremely difficult circumstances.
- Ask the Lord to protect and sustain them, provide for their needs, strengthen them when they are weary, and give them courage and wisdom to continue faithfully serving Christ.
- Pray that these hardships would not hinder the Gospel, but that the Lord would build and strengthen His Church even in the midst of suffering, opening doors for His people to demonstrate the love and hope of Christ to those around them.
- May the Lord bring peace, mercy, provision, and relief to all who are suffering, and may His Church remain a faithful light in the midst of great darkness.
Our Global Follow-Up & Discipleship Teams: Wisdom, Strength & Fruitful Relationships
- Behind every program, broadcast, social-media post, and message are real people—many carrying burdens involving their families, marriages, health, finances, work, and spiritual struggles.
- Please pray for our follow-up workers across the different regions as they respond personally to these individuals.
- Ask the Lord to give them wisdom, compassion, discernment, perseverance, and spiritual strength, so that conversations do not end with simply responding to a message but become opportunities for genuine discipleship and connection with the local Church.
- Pray also for God’s protection over our workers and their families, especially those serving in difficult or unstable environments.
From Media To Discipleship to Multiplication: Building Something Beyond Media
- Please pray that the Lord would take everything we place in His hands and build something far beyond what media alone could ever accomplish.
- Our prayer is that: Biblical Media → Discipleship → Local Church → Multiplication
- Ask God to show us where He is already building and give us the wisdom and humility to join Him there.
- Pray that He would raise up mature disciples, faithful local leaders, and healthy churches that will carry His Word forward long after our own part in the work is finished.
For All Of Us, Let The Lord Build
Finally, please pray for all of us at Endure International.
Ask the Lord to keep us humble and dependent upon Him. Pray that we would never become so occupied with programs, plans, budgets, strategies, and opportunities that we begin trying to build in our own wisdom or strength.
May He give us the courage to move when He says move, the patience to wait when He says wait, and the humility to change direction whenever He leads us differently.
We desire to faithfully use everything God has placed in our hands while continually remembering:
“Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.”
Psalm 127:1
Thank you for carrying these brothers, sisters, families, churches, and ministries before the Lord.
We believe that our responsibility is to labor faithfully, pray earnestly, and trust the Lord to build what only He can build.
