Advancing on Our Knees: Celebrating Sixty Years

Without prayer, ministering for 60 years in rural North America would have been impossible.

Now, as we celebrate sixty years of serving rural communities, we are asking for renewed prayer.   We believe it is vitally important we put an increasing emphasis on intercessory prayer on behalf of…

  1. The people who live in each community Village Missions serves
  2. Each Village Missionary and their families
  3. The nations in which we serve – Canada and the United States
  4. The board and leaders of Village Missions

Please join us in prayer.  You can sign up today to receive regular prayer updates.

March 14: Tom & Jennifer Craig, Skykomish, WA

Craig-TSkykomish is an old railroad town an hour or so east of Monroe, WA. About 500 people live between here and Barring, a small town about 8 miles west of us down the pass. Most people who live here year-round work in the Seattle area. This community is very dark spiritually, with a lot of closed hearts toward the Gospel. We have a very small congregation of 15-20 people that love getting together to fellowship and learn from the Lord. Please pray that the love of the church would continue to abound abundantly toward one another and the community, and that those in the body would continue to be encouraged. Pray for those who have recently committed their lives to the Lord, that the Lord would faithfully grow them in Him. Above all, pray that the Lord would start a revival here in the Sky Valley and that as we share the Gospel on a consistent basis, many people would commit their lives to the Lord. Please also pray the passage of Isaiah 58 for us. Thank you!

March 7: Tom & Rebecca Gerbrandt, Gwynne, AB

Gerbrandt-Tom-BeckyThis small rural farming community, in the heart of a picturesque valley, sits halfway between 2 small cities about 15 minutes away. The men’s breakfasts are becoming a great outreach in the area; more men come each time. Pray that we may touch lives for Christ through this. We have some other outreach ministries in mind that need a lot of work to get up & running. Pray that God will lead us in each step of the process.

February 28: Steve & Shawna Matthews, Oak, NE

Matthews1We’re in a farming area of SE Nebraska, very near the border of Kansas, with fields of corn and soybeans. Our town has about 50-60 people; Oak is a great community, with good people. This is the only church in town, so everyone considers it their church. Pray for us and our outreach into the community. Pray for spiritual and physical growth for the church, that the people would see the need to have Jesus in their life, and that people would love each other and be understanding.

February 21: Mike & Kim Kunkle, Quaker Street, NY

KunklesOur area, in the hill towns west of Albany, is beautiful. We have a lot of hunters and hard-working people. Quaker Street Bible Church and Delanson are a fairly close community. The church family is warm & friendly and not hard to please – they are very laid back. Pray for balance in time management between work on the physical church building, Bible study, and local outreach. We would like to see more involvement of men in the church, not only in attendance, but in ministry as well. In our own personal lives, we need to spend more time with the family and to live a life that honors the Lord.
