Pillar Church of Oceanside (Trace & Kristy Martinez, Michael & Audrey Young, Stephen & Becky Cloer)
-Pray that God would lead their church to invest in three focus areas for 2026, prayer, community, and service, in order that they would live on mission together.
-They are starting off the year with a 21 day fast spread out across the members of the church. Pray that the church would do this well and hear clearly from the Lord in what he might want them to focus on within those three main categories listed above.
-Pray for Pillar Oceanside’s relationship with the church that they rent space from. They’ve had some good interactions and have done some ministry together. Oceanside’s heart is to serve them well and follow God‘s leading in terms of the nature of their relationship going into 2026.
-Pray for the expansion of ministry across the board. Within families, individuals in their workplaces/schools/homes, in the church, in the community, etc. Their desire is to impact lostness in their circles and in their city!
Gospel Life Church (Jon & Melissa Simburger, Soh & Izumi Nakayama)
-Pray for the elders, staff, and members, that they would rest sufficiently and that they may boldly proclaim the gospel here in Okinawa.
-Pray as the church begins discipleship training studies starting in the new year. Pray that each church member would be strengthened as a disciple of Christ who makes more disciples.
-Pray for a solution to their parking problem. They often face insufficient parking space. While it’s a wonderful problem to have, they can’t leave it unaddressed forever and are praying for wisdom in the situation and for a permanent solution.
