If you're interested in serving in this vital ministry, please reach out to Rebecca at rcooke@fellowshipgreenville.org.
- Greg Jackson asks for prayer for his mother, Sharon, who has cancer.
- Sue Lewis requests prayer for a precious friend of hers who recently found out that she is expecting a baby after a hard journey of miscarriage and infertility. She is having some complications which the doctors say is not uncommon. She has asked for our prayers.
- Dave Abela asks for prayer for his grandson Tristan as he goes on a mission trip and plans for a year of discipleship training. He asks that God uses these experiences to give him maturity and direction.
"Mauritania is dominated by Islamist leadership and struggles with poverty and corruption. Located on Africa’s western coast, Mauritania has strong connections and cultural similarities to its North African neighbors. Slavery still exists within tribal groups, with Christians commonly subservient to the majority-Moor people groups. In 2009, an American missionary was killed in Mauritania, and many mission agencies subsequently withdrew their workers from the country. Other indigenous and near-culture leaders have also been killed. Some Christian workers, however, are starting to return. Mauritania has been staunchly Islamic for more than 1,000 years, and the security risks for both national Christians and foreign missionaries remain obstacles to reaching Muslims with the gospel.'

Way to pray: Pray for the encouragement and perseverance of Christians who have been harassed and arrested for sharing their faith.
Kaylyn has loved sports, specifically softball, for as long as she can remember. Growing up she loved the experiences she was able to have with the sport. During her college years, she loved the opportunity to use softball as a platform to bring people together from all different backgrounds to enjoy this great sport. Through several trips to the Middle East, she had the opportunity to see softball redeemed in her own life, while also building relationships and breaking down language barriers in a way that provided opportunities to share the Gospel.
Kaylyn now gets to bridge her passions of softball, freedom in Christ, worship & leadership to continue impacting softball players, coaches & fans with the gospel. Kaylyn has loved watching the growth of impact through Athletes in Action Softball over the past 2 years! AIA Softball is now hosting several international events & spiritual retreats for athletes and coaches across many age groups every year.
Way to Pray: Kaylyn will be traveling with a team to Thailand later this summer. Please pray for the unity of this team and for the interactions that they will be having with the Thai people.
Piedmont Women's Center's annual Born to Run 5k is coming up! It will be held at Bob Jones University on May 16th starting at 8am. This is a great opportunity to get outside and support the work of PWC. Fellowship Greenville has 10 free spots that people in our congregation can access by signing up here and using the code: FG10.
If running in the 5k isn't your thing, they are in need of several volunteers! An event like this can't happen without their help! If you are interested in volunteering, please visit this page.
