Please pray for my two close friends growing up at church. Growing up in church they know on the Bible stories and who Jesus is and why he came but their lives do not reflect and they do not proclaim Jesus as Lord of their lives. Recently had the opportunity to EV to them and they recognize they are a sinner yet they struggle to believe in Jesus and that his sacrifice is enough to save us from our sins. Please pray for continual opportunities to EV to them. Pray for their hearts to recognize that brokenness and a need for our perfect loving Savior. Please pray that my witness will reflect the Lords work in my life and that through the sharing of the gospel that their hearts will be convicted.

Please pray for my high school best friend Jeremy. We haven't seen each other ever high school ending since he went to play in college for basketball but he is now back for the summer. I was able to reach out and have the opportunity to start playing basketball with him on Wednesdays. He goes to a "Christian church" time to time with his family but lacks any beliefs and has no thoughts on the topic. Our relationship in high school was built off of many worldly things and through all of it we both hurt each other.. I was able to humbly confess the wrongs that I have done to him and he was understanding enough to forgive me. Through my recent baptism I was able to share to him how the Lord has changed my life radically and now I have been given a purpose in my life. As we spoke he told me how he was struggling mentally and with his relationship with his gf. Please pray as we continue to see each other this summer that I am able to share the gospel to him in love and humility understanding the exact place he is in. Pray that his heart will be conflicted in his brokenness to see his need for a savior, that the things of this world will never truly satisfy him and that true rest is only in Christ. Please pray for me to not take these opportunities for granted

Please pray for my boldness in sharing the gospel whether it is to close friends, strangers, or family. I struggle with anxiety of how people perceive me.

“ josh “ : Met him while eving and met up in person one time. He has all the knowledge of the gospel and he understands that he is sinful. As we talked he struggles to see the weight of his sin before a Holy God. As I asked him whether he believes that Jesus Christ is his Lord and savior he struggles to answer still. He says he doesn’t know why he can’t commit and surrender his life… As I asked more there are still things in this world that he find hard or “impossible” to let go. Pray that he continues to examine himself and the things he hold closest to. Pray that he is convicted of these worldly things and that it will not bring the satisfaction that he is seeking for, that there is only true rest in knowing Christ and following him. Pray that his knowledge of the gospel doesn’t hinder him from seeking further. Pray for me as we plan to continue to meet up for diligence and preparation and to continue to love and be a witness of Christ to Him. To ultimately glorify God through the spreading of his word.

Pray for kevin a guy I met while eving He is very confused on what “Christianity” is. Being surrounded by “Christian” friends his view has been skewed seeing the sins and the hypocrisy within these people and churches. He believes that there is no denial of a God but doesn’t know who He is and what role he plays. He says that the only faith he has is in his own mind of an idea of “Christianity”. He still yet struggles the weight of his sin and the reality of the days of judgement that are to come. Pray that as he continues to seek what is right that his heart is softened and he is slow to judge others and examine his own heart and recognize his own need for a savior. Pray that he will seek this with urgency, understanding that this is his eternal life at stake and that there is no tomorrow that is promised…

Pls pray for my friend Steph. She is also a senior and she was on my heart this morning. I met her 2 years ago through a campus organization called KCM at uci. It’s a Christian club that sends students on missions and they do a good job preaching the Gospel. I don’t know if Steph is a believer. She grew up Catholic and it seems like she wants to know more about God. The last time I saw her, something had happened and she was crying. I tried to comfort her but she said she didn’t want to talk to me. I was really sad cuz she was one of my best friends. I reached out to her but she never responded. That was a year ago. I know she still attends KCM and her bf takes her to his home church so I have lots of hope. I pray that she’ll be softened by the Truth and that she comes to know God.

Pray for Virgil! I just had a call with him and his heart's growth for God has been tremendously unexpected. He is currently at home right now working but his co workers have invited him to go to church. Most of them are Christians and a couple of them he's pretty close with. God has been opening the eyes of his heart over the vacation and work break he's had these past four weeks. He's realized the mindless activities and laziness that are fruitless. He's grown to strive for truth in purpose for Christianity, not simply being a habit to attending things in California but a passion for consciously choosing Christ. He's been actively praying this past week with his prayer request to let the knowledge of Christ overflow into an understanding that is personal to him. When I asked him what he tells his co workers about his own faith, he told me that he just says that he is someone who goes to church. Please pray that as God forms his heart of understanding, he may be able to confess Jesus as Lord and call himself a believer. I recommended a Bible plan and for him to read something together with one of his closest christian co-worker friend. Pray that in taking of God's Word, he may see God strengthening him and the necessity for daily bread.

I have tried to evangelize to him but since he's an immigrant, he has a hard time understanding my english and my chinese is not good enough to fully articulate the gospel message. Pray for the Lord to reveal to him and soften his heart.

Prayer for my classmate Adrian. I've shared the Gospel to Him before but he's still stuck in the world. Pray for a softened heart to understand and receive the Gospel.

This is a prayer for my engineering project team. It will be spending ALOT of time this year with them, ~20-30 people. I have shared my faith with a couple of them, but I can only imagine the opportunities God could provide through at the year. May I be bold, discerning, loving, and a verbal/consistent witness to these people who are so lost & consumed with worldly success. Open their hearts.

Please help pray for my family, these past couple years have been a time of struggle. My father & I have been trying to lead the rest of my family to church more but it's been difficult for them to entrust their worldly responsibilities to God, & to make time for Him on the Sabbath. I pray that God would continue softening their hearts & that my father & I would remain steadfast & praying without ceasing for them.

Please pray for my classmates! I've been both subtly & bluntly evangelizing to my peers:

Kristin- was able to share the gospel with her, she's very curious, but very skeptical!

Kalvin- grew up in a Catholic household, but doesn't have belief/faith

Sastra- is Orthodox Christian, came to faith within the last 1-2 years

Mary, Millan, Daniel, also not believers ~ pray for more opportunities <3

Please pray for Aduam. I met him during welcome week. He says as he thinks about God more, he sees demonic oppositions. I gave him a Bible and spoke with him about God's willingness to forgive. He has struggles with self harm and has not responded to me since. Pray for his heart, his safety & that the Word would save him.

Please pray for my friend from high school. He's been coming to Berean bstudies and has his own beliefs and opinions about the Word. Pray for the Lord to soften his heart, that he may see God's holiness, His love, His grace, and His righteous character.

If you could pray for someone I met over thanksgiving. His name is Nathan Taan and he confesses to be a non-believer. He is checking out Crosslife because he wants to know about God, yet he understands that there are things in his life that he is not willing to give up. Pray that God would open his heart to receive the Gospel and repent.

Please pray for my twin sister, Rachel. Her heart has been so hardened to the gospel that if I mention God once, she'll change the subject or she'll close off and won't talk to for hours-on YouTube. Please pray that her heart will be opened to the gospel, and she'll see God's glory and come to God in humility and repentance instead of hiding from God (she knows that she is a sinner, but refuses to repent and goes to worldly things- video games, career, music, etc.) and studying in the rut of her depression and suicidal ideation.

Please pray for my unbelieving parents. They live for the vanity of this world. Though they've been exposed to Christianity, they don't have saving faith. Pray that they would be genuinely convicted of their sins and turn to Christ, out Lord and Savior. Please also pray that I wouldn't grow weary in faithfully witnessing to them, out of love and gratitude to Christ.

Pray for Chris, my teammate who I've been occasionally bringing out to Friday night Bible Study since last spring. His heart has progressively gotten softer but his stumbling block is submitting to God's justice instead of clinging onto his idea of fairness. He has a lot of thoughts about the flood so pray that it would be an opportunity for him to see in his heart full of darkness, see God's light. Humbling himself as creation, His creation not being Creator.

Pray for my teammate Colin. I've had early morning practices w/him but I initially met him through flyering. The Charlie Kirk situation gave him a desire to get right w/ God and he expressed interest coming to Bible study in the spring. Ironically he was approached by an older gentlemen who was flyering for some booklet as a Christian. Please pray that his heart can see God reaching out. Help him to see the temporary futility of life and the reality of eternity. So that his priorities aren't subjective but built on truth.

I'm going to evangelize to my high school friends over thanksgiving break. They are pretty unfamiliar and honesly against Christianity. Please pray that they would have open minds and that the Lord would give me the words to say! Their names: Natalie, Anjali, Lucy, Angie, Christy, and Lauren!

Pray for my Hindu friend Odhaesh. We have spoken in depth numerous times about God, the Gospel, and human sin, but it is never more than an interesting philosophy to him. He adheres to Vedanta non-dualism, where there is no right and wrong. Pray that he is awakened to his sin and his mind for Christ.

# data[].attributes.body
Pray for hearts that seek and love the lost, that we all be proactive and seek opportunities to share the Gospel.

Pray for boldness, standing firm in the truth of God's Word and the Gospel.

Prayer for college ministry and the Church not to be idle nor complacent, but to truly obey and submit unto the Lord.

Maya- Ev'd to her and she had a very positive outlook on life and little care for the Gospel. Pray that she would recognize the fleeting and broken nature of the world in light of the gospel.

Charles- also Ev'd to, felt that the world made perfect sense in terms of science, and no need to seek out the one behind it (even if there is one). Prayer that heart would be softened and urgency in knowledge of coming judgement.

Please pray for my friend David. I met him when I EV'd. He said he is Christian but does not go to church as much and doesn't really read his Bible. Pray that he would have a greater heart for the Lord and that he wouldn't neglect his worship and communion with God. Recently he shared he's going through a really tough time, pray that this time would draw him closer to God rather than away; that he would seek refuge in the Lord and run to the arms of Jesus Christ.

Pray for the EV groups that go out on the different campuses!

Pray for:

1. My unbelieving brother Connor. Also my parents. Pray that their hearts are softened.

2. Unbelieving classmates, that they be receptive to the gospel

3. Matthew-> EV'd to, wrestling with problem of evil because believing friend passed away

# data[].attributes.body
Pray that I would continue inviting friends out even though they don't come. That I would not feel discouraged by results but do this continually out of love for them and their salvation. Also that I would be okay with not having the answers to every question, but that God would sustain me in my conversations.

One of my good friends from home transferred to UCI this year, and I've asked if he'd be interested in checking out Berean but it doesn't seem he is. It's harder to reach out since I'm at a different campus, but if any of you UCI guys know William Gao maybe you can bug him to come haha. If not it'd be great if you could pray for him to consider coming out at some point.

# data[].attributes.body
Pray for my trial team at UCI. There are ~30 people that are nonbelievers. Pray that God would open doors for me to witness faithfully, and to share the gospel with boldness.

Pray for the influx of newcomers that come into our church.

Please pray for my brother, parents, grandparents, and all of my family to come to repentance. All of my family are Buddhist, so they believe that as long as they are good people, they'll be saved. But their hearts are very hypocritical - please pray that their hearts may be softened to hear the gospel. Please pray that God will open their eyes to see that they are sinners & need to repent to see that only Christ saves. Especially my grandmother, since she has Alzheimer's.

Brandon. He has knowledge, he has been taught the truth, there have been continued opportunities to minister and share with him over these past 3 years of school and yet he just seems to sway back and forth. He doesn't have any urgency and feels he has no need for God. Pray that the Spirit would give him the eyes to see and the ears to hear, that by His power alone Brandon's heart would be softened, by whatever measure of God's grace, both harsh and kind.
