Week of Prayer

Spend time in Prayer

Every year, SBC churches observe the Week of Prayer for North American missions by praying for missionaries, their ministries and their families. Because these missionaries make Jesus known in places all over the U.S. and Canada where there’s little or no gospel witness, they experience opposition and they battle loneliness and discouragement. That’s why they need your prayers.

This year, the official date for the Week of Prayer is March 3-10. However, you can choose any week during the Easter season to participate. Your prayers and gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering will fuel their work.

Jefferson & Carol Hernandez

April 14, 2024

Five seconds. That’s how long it took him to come up with a name. Jefferson Hernandez had not given a moment’s thought to what he and his wife Carol would call their new church plant in Sterling, Virginia. When he was unexpectedly asked the name, Jefferson said a quick prayer. “I’d just read in John 4 where it says the fields are white unto harvest, and the phrase ‘Campo Blanco’ crossed my mind. So right then and there, that was the name given to the church—Campo Blanco, which in English is ‘White Field’.” Jefferson and Carol live in one of the wealthiest counties in America. Lured by the promise of high-paying jobs, immigrants from Central and South America are moving there in record numbers. Many of them are unreached by the gospel.

Josh & Beth Glymph

The timing is what seemed odd. Four years ago, God told Josh and Beth Glymph to simultaneously do the two hardest things they’d ever done. “Foster care and church planting,” says Beth. “I thought there was no way He’d ask us to do both at the same time.” And yet, everything began to make sense after the Glymphs adopted three children, two out of foster care, while starting Refuge Church in the Jacksonville community of Ortega. Ortega had almost no evangelical witness, but it did have families who looked as eclectic as the Glymphs..

Joseph & Kristen Gibbons

If Joseph and Kristen Gibbons learned anything when they moved to Las Vegas, it was this: don’t believe everything you hear. “When people think of Vegas, they think it’s just casinos,” says Kristen. “But families live here. And we didn’t fall in love with the Strip. We fell in love with the people.”
