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:

This past weekend, Myanmar was hit with a magnitude 8 earthquake, with the impact also being felt in Thailand. In Myanmar alone, it's been reported that  2,719 people have now been found dead, with 4,521 others injured and 441 missing. The death toll is expected to rise. The earthquake impacted a wide section of the country and has left many areas without access to power, roads have been destroyed, and more, making it difficult to assess the extent of the damage. Buildings also continue to collapse in Myanmar days after the earthquake, which has made rescue operations even more dangerous. Check out this article for a more detailed accounting of the earthquake.

Way to pray: Our partners in Myanmar and Thailand are safe, but please pray for them as they assess the damage and care for those who are hurting right now! Please pray for the crews who are looking for missing persons, especially as it's dangerous with buildings continuing to collapse. Finally, please pray that God will make His presence known to these people during this sad time.

After serving for six years as a pastor at Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, NC, Steffen and Elizabeth Mueller, 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.

Our missionaries in Alaska with Cadence International, Ben and Simi Hallford, have sent out an Amazon Wishlist for a baby shower they are hosting for multiple women in the group they serve! If you'd like to contribute, you can check out the wishlist here. You can also check out their recent newsletter here to learn a bit more about the groups they're serving and all that they have planned this month!

• Jordan and Erin Maney (Utah) have had ample opportunity to minister to someone Erin has worked with coming out of the LDS Church. Jordan believes that this person has either just recently started following Jesus, or is really close to that point. Please pray for him in his faith walk. 
• Please continue to pray for Scott McCracken and his family as they grieve the death of Vicki following complications after a recent heart surgery. Here's an update Scott recently sent out.
• Please pray for the country of Syria right now as minority groups are facing the fear of genocide and extinction! May God’s mercy, justice, and peace prevail in Syria. Please also pray for our partner, Ananias House, as they seek to serve Syrians.
• Please pray for our friend and church member, Rodrigo Rodriguez, as he and his wife Mary are traveling to various countries for mission trips the next few months.
• Iglesia Alumbra, a partner church in Barranquilla, Colombia, asks us to help them pray for a larger place to worship. Please also pray for partners in Domzale, Slovenia and Potsdam, Germany as they are also feeling the limitations of space! Please also join in praying for these partner churches as they prepare for Easter services this month!
