January Mission Partner Spotlight

Pillar Oceanside – Trace & Kristy Martinez, Michael & Audrey Young, Stephen & Becky Cloer

  • Pray as Pillar Oceanside is in the process of changing meeting locations. They have just moved to meeting Saturday nights at an elderly church very close to the school they have been meeting in for 10 years. Pray that the two congregations could come work together to serve the Lord. They want to follow his leading, and want to see him working in powerful ways through this situation.

  • Pray as they are anticipating a large PCS season this summer. Pray that the Lord would prepare their hearts for a lot of goodbyes, and that they would be faithful in their remaining time with these families. They are also trusting that the Lord will build his church as many move on in 2025.

  • Pray as one of their elder families will be PCSing this year, that they would be able to raise up new leaders and additional elders would be added to their team of pastors. 

  • For the Martinez family, 2025 is a big year. Their son is getting married and will be headed to the mission field. Their daughter is in a new career as a first grade teacher and learning the ropes there. Kristy is going to finish school and transition into a new job field.  Pray that God would bless each of those efforts, and for him to be glorified through their family in them.

Gospel Life Church – Jon & Melissa Simburger, Soh & Izumi Nakayama, David & Sarah Cipriano

  • Pray for their elder families to be spiritually rested and protected. 

  • In January Soh will share his vision for their ministry, pray that God would move in their church family to see that vision fulfilled and for local people to be reached with the gospel through them.
