PRAYER REQUESTS

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble". Psalm 46:1

"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land". 2 Chronicles 7:14 

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 Liana Grace at 864-385-3368 or lgrace@fellowshipgreenville.org.

Please pray for these other requests:

  • Kay Williams' dad, David Williams, passed away. Please pray for their family in this time. The funeral is Monday, November 17, at Thomas McAfee Funeral Home (Southeast Chapel, Simpsonville). There will be a Visitation at noon, and a Service will follow at 1:00 pm.
  • Tiffany Bunney asks for prayer for her sister, Teresa, as she has a tumor on her brain stem and will need surgery soon. Please pray for no complications from the surgery. 
  • Elaine Gilliard went to be with her Lord and Savior a few weeks ago. Please join us in prayer for Ben Gilliard and his family during this time.
  • Please pray for Marty and Vanessa Hines. Marty's mom, Judith Ann Hines, went to be with Jesus on Saturday, October 4. 
  • Please pray for the family of Clair Harmon, whose cousin passed away a couple weeks ago. 
  • Kathy Staffer asks for prayer for healing for her daughter, who is having some pain.
GLOBAL NEWS OPPORTUNITY TO PRAY: CHINA

"Revival and rapid church growth have characterized China’s churches since the 1990s. About 130 million Chinese are Christians, most of whom worship within the house church movement. Millions of others worship with the Three-Self Patriotic Movement (TSPM), which, as the only legal church, is controlled by the Communist government. Despite continuous pressure and oppression from the Communist government, house church leaders refuse to compromise the gospel by joining government-controlled churches. Because of decades of government oppression, many Chinese Christians do not have their own Bible or access to discipleship literature." Via: Voice of the Martyrs

Way to pray: Pray that Chinese pastors will be encouraged and stand firm in the face of government threats. Pray that children and young people, especially in remote villages, will have access to God's Word.

MISSIONARY HIGHLIGHT: MANEY

Jordan and Erin Maney moved to Provo, Utah in 2023 to begin their ministry to the Latter-day Saints (Mormons) of Utah. Their goal is to share the truth of the gospel with Latter-day Saints and to see Latter-day Saints come to true saving faith in Christ. Jordan was recently voted in as a pastor in February of 2025. Erin is a high school English teacher and uses her career as a way to share the gospel with students and coworkers. They have a 15 month old son named PJ (Peter James).

Jordan and Erin joined Mosaic Church in Provo, Utah and chose Mosaic because it is in one of the most unreached cities in North America. There are also very few Christians in Provo. Jordan and Erin love equipping and discipling the local church. Jordan’s pastoral role will be the pastor of discipleship and community groups where he will make sure that as Mosaic grows in width, it continues to grow in depth. Jordan and Erin both love discipling people at Mosaic and making sure that the culture of discipleship continues to grow. Jordan will also have responsibilities like preaching, teaching, pastoral care, and counseling.

Way to Pray: Jordan and Erin request prayer as they continue to build relationships in their community. Please also pray for the Maneys as they prepare for the arrival of their second baby this upcoming spring.

OPPORTUNITY: 2026 SHORT-TERM TRIPS

We’ve developed partnerships with many well-established ministries to join them in what they’re already doing to advance the gospel in other parts of the world. Each year we send a growing number of short-term mission teams to serve alongside these partners. These trips have focuses in orphan care, community development, evangelism, and more!

All of our trip applications are now open online! If you have any questions about them, please reach out to Jana Johnson at jjohnson@fellowshipgreenville.org. 

MISSIONARY AND PARTNER UPDATES
  • Pray for Jaz Mackey (Thailand) and her team as they recently lost a teammate to cancer. Please also pray for another of Jaz's friends in the ministry who has also been diagnosed with cancer.

  • 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, Médard-en-Jalles, France and Potsdam, Germany as they are also feeling the limitations of space!
