The Prayer Team is actively looking for individuals who would like to minister to our congregation by meeting with those who need prayer following the Sunday services. Volunteers are on duty once a month for one service.  At this time, we particularly have a need for the following weeks/services: 1st Sunday/2nd Service, and 3rd Sunday/2nd Service.  If you are interested in serving with the Prayer Team, please contact Rebecca Cooke at 864-385-3368 or rcooke@fellowshipgreenville.org.

Please pray for these other requests:

She also requests prayer for Wayne's mother, Duna, who is in a nursing home. Wayne will now be responsible for the care of both Judy and Duna.

"Until the 21st century, Bangladesh was considered one of the poorest countries in the world. Though there are signs of economic growth, governmental instability continues. Churches are careful when offering relief to the poor and needy because they do not want to encourage false conversions among people claiming faith in Christ solely for economic benefit. While Bangladesh is a majority-Muslim nation, the government avoids undue influence from Islamists and actively fights extremism. Millions of Bangladeshis are learning about Christ and the Bible through media outreaches.

Many Christian groups meet publicly, while others worship in unregistered churches. When Muslims convert to Christianity, they are often forced to leave their community." (via: Voice of the Martyrs)

Way to pray: Pray that Christians who are rejected by family members because of their faith will show God's love to them.

After serving for six years as a pastor at Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, NC, Steffen and Elizabeth, together with their two daughters, moved to Munich, Germany to plant a Gospel-centered church. From 2012 until 2020 Gospel Church Munich held its worship services in a suburb of Munich called Gruenwald. Since the end of 2020 Gospel Church Munich is able to have its worship services in a large concert hall in the very center of downtown Munich. By God’s grace many have come to faith in Christ and it is encouraging to see that by far the largest group at Gospel Church in Munich are young adults in their twenties and early thirties.

 Way to Pray: Pray for God to raise up godly leaders and committed members at Gospel Church Munich and that many more people will come to faith in Christ. Also, pray for a spiritual awakening and that the Holy Spirit will help us to make mature disciples.

Fellowship Greenville and Miracle Hill are partnering to offer Lifeline's Families Count (faith-based) parenting classes. These are classes that have been approved by DSS and the court system for parents who have lost custody of their children. Often, taking parenting classes is a requirement of the court for parents to regain custody of their children.

People can volunteer to help with Families Count in either of two ways:  1) as a mentor of a class participant or 2) by making a meal for 15 people on class nights. Meals will need to be dropped off at the Miracle Hill Family Ministry Center at 5:15 each evening.

Classes start this Thursday, but we are still in need of a handful of mentors and meal preppers.

Check out our website to register to volunteer.
