The Miss Mike Daily is director of church and community ministries for the 280-church Miami Baptist Association, where he connects churches with needs in their communities. Doing so allows the Gospel to be shared, and in a multicultural city like Miami one person accepting Christ can have worldwide impact. Ana directs the Good News Care Center, a free medical clinic.

Pray for Mike as he helps churches develop new ministries. Pray for a church to be established from the work of the medical clinic.

They thought they would serve overseas as they have a love for international missions, but Michael and Michelle Dean learned they didn’t need to venture far away. The world has come to them. Leaders from around the world find themselves in Boston on a short-term basis for work or study, and the Deans build relationships with these students and share Christ with them.

Pray for the Deans as they find creative ways to minister to and share Christ with students and other internationals. Pray for more volunteers to come forward to serve in the ministry.

The Smiths also have started the Twin Cities Northern Lights, a team founded on Christian principles that acts as a bridge between area churches and the hockey community.

Pray for the Smiths as they share the gospel with players. Pray that the players will be drawn to Christ through the witness of the Smiths.

Even before the events of September 11, 2001, Greg and Janine Farah were committed to starting a church in New York City. Rather than change their plans, the terrorist attack actually gave momentum to them. They have started Mosaic Manhattan on the east side of Ground Zero.

Pray for the Farahs as they reach out to the community. Pray that residents will be drawn to the church and that many will find Christ while there.

Mark Hobafcovich until recently was a national church planting missionary who helped start churches among more than 100 European, Haitian, Brazilian and Middle Eastern people groups. Now he is a staff member of the North American Mission Board. He has a special understanding of those who come here from other countries because he’s one of them. He fled his native Romania at age 20 and became a refugee in Australia, where he accepted Christ.

Pray for Mark to locate, train, and mentor pastors for new ethnic churches. Pray that God will give churches a vision to start new congregations.

A refugee from Vietnam during the 1970s, An Van Pham is an Asian church planter missionary working with 11 language groups in Georgia.

Pham also leads an international camp for second-generation international youth.

Pray that the Phams will be an inspiration and encouragement to other Asians in sharing their faith. Pray that more Asians will respond to God’s call to pastoral ministry.
