April 20: Richard & Ellen Hayes, Edgewood, WA
Located in Pierce County near Puyallup, Milton, and Federal Way, this was once a rural area, but in recent years (like many cities in the Puget Sound) it has undergone much growth and transformation. This is a challenging mission field that desperately needs reached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray for our continued effective outreach into our community as we seek to develop relationships and share Christ. Pray for Edgewood Community Church as it continues the processes of becoming an Emergency Shelter for the Pierce County Office of Emergency Management. Praise the Lord for continuing growth in our children’s ministries. Pray for the church as it undertakes a major renovation project this summer on our multipurpose building. Pray for continued unity as the church continues to face and adapt to the reality of change in our community and in our church, as we become the church the Lord wants us to be.
