Pray for New England

This week, let’s pray for Newbury Bible Church in Newbury, Vermont. We praise God for giving the church favor in its village and surrounding region. Their food shelf ministry is thriving, community cookouts have been well received, and new families have been added to the congregation. Several people are also preparing for baptism, praise the Lord! Please pray for the church’s need for a new heating system, including a boiler and tank. Pray also for provision for a baptismal tank, which would allow the church to celebrate baptisms in its own facility. Pray that God would provide for these needs and continue to bless Newbury Bible Church as it serves and shares the gospel in its community.

Today, let’s pray for Greenville Baptist Church in Rochdale, Massachusetts. We praise God for two baptisms in August and for the opportunity to begin Sunday School and midweek discipleship programs for children. Please pray for the church’s annual Family Fun Fest on the town common. Pray that the event would open doors for gospel conversations and that God would use it to bear fruit for the gospel throughout the community. Pray that God would continue to grow the church and use its ministries to make Christ known in the community.

New King Church is a church in South Burlington, Vermont, where God has been growing a desire for biblical community, with more than 20 people committing to church membership over the past year. Please pray that they would make mature disciples who long to share their faith and participate in the ministry of reconciliation, and that God would give unity and Christ-centered dependence to their elders and leadership team.

Grace Harbor Church is a church in New Bedford, Massachusetts, celebrating six years of God’s faithfulness and a summer filled with mission teams serving alongside their members to host Kids Camps in neighborhood parks. Please pray that God would use their continued study through Acts to form them and lead them on mission, give them favor among their neighbors, and raise up more leaders to plant and revitalize churches.

Pleasant Street Free Baptist Church is a church in Springvale, Maine, where they are laying the groundwork for a small addition to their historic 1868 church building and recently sent out their youth minister to seminary and a new ministry serving on the ski slopes of Maine and New Hampshire. Please pray that they would build meaningful connections with new neighbors as 80+ new apartments open in a renovated mill just one block from the church, creating opportunities to serve their community and share the gospel.

Praise God for His faithfulness at Cornerstone Church! Please pray for meaningful gospel conversations with neighbors this summer, continued growth in discipleship, and God's provision as the church prepares for future ministry opportunities.

Join us in praying for Hillside Baptist Church as God continues to bring renewal and new opportunities for ministry. Pray that many in the community will hear the gospel, that God will provide the right ministry leaders, and that this church will shine brightly for Christ throughout New England.

Praise God for new people connecting with Cornerstone Church and for a growing desire to know His Word. Pray that God will continue to raise up servant leaders, deepen spiritual maturity, and strengthen the unity of this church family.
