Gary and Tina Barrow – Truckee, California

We have been here pastoring Calvary Chapel Truckee for almost 3 years now. We’ve faced many challenges and difficulties, many we never dreamed would be something we would face in ministry. But God has been so very faithful, and I believe we’re right where God wants us as a church.Please pray…We’re in need of a worship leader/assistant pastor at the church. Currently Gary is carrying all of the teaching and administration of the church. It’s been a heavy, and at times, an overwhelming responsibility. But again, God has been so very faithful. We trust that with your prayers, God will raise up an assistant that is like minded and has a heart to serve God’s people.Please join us in praying for a fresh out pouring of God’s Spirit on Calvary Chapel Truckee.We’ve been praying about starting a preschool to reach out to the town of Truckee. We need wisdom and vision on how the Lord would have us do this.We have just returned from Israel and it seems that God has opened up amazing doors for ministry there for us. We have an open do to reach out to youth in a Palestinian controlled area. God has also opened a door for us to minister to special needs kids in Israel. We’re praying and asking God to show us how He would have us walk through those doors.Gary is planning on traveling with Pastor Trent to the Middle East later this year. We’re asking the Lord to show us how He’d have us be part of the ministry there also.We’re planning for Hungarian summer camps again this year. During one of the camps last year, a woman approached Gary and ask if he knew who she was? She showed him a picture of the 2 of them from a camp Gary did 13 years earlier. She said she gave her heart to the Lord during that camp and Jesus changed her life. She’s now living for Jesus, married to a christian man and serving in her church. Last year we saw 64 of 93 kids come to the Lord in 2 summer camps. We’re asking the Lord for even more souls this year.Gary is teaching a class and continues to arrange teachers for the colleges we have in the 10/40 window. Please continue to pray that God would raise up believers to take the Gospel and saturate that area. Gary would like to lead a team later this year to visit the college and encourage the students through block classes. We’re asking God for the right timing for a trip.With all the many overseas opportunities now opening up to us, we’re asking God to show us how to serve faithfully here at Calvary Chapel Truckee, and how to balance that with the many open doors abroad. We believe the Lord is leading us into greater fields of harvest. We’re asking the Lord for wisdom and direction.We want to thank you for your prayers. If you have any questions, we welcome your emails and will respond to them promptly.

Shilo and Racquell Stratton – Peru

Pray for our minds, that we would not be anxious or stressed regarding preparing to move and actually being sent. That we would have the goal and mission in mind of making disciples. Of serving Christ and no one else. Of making His name famous and not our own. And generally for clear thinking. That we’d hold fast to sound doctrine.Pray for our spirits, that we’d serve God without fear and in absolute surrender. That we’d lay aside sins and things that easily ensnare us. That we’d put on God’s armor.

Pray for our bodies, that we’d be strong and that God would ward off any infections, diseases, or accidents from us prior to and on the field. Especially for baby Amalia. I (Shilo) think I’ve got a food allergy that my doctor and I are currently trying to figure out.

Pray for PERÚ, for the country as a whole. Latin America is full of false doctrine, prideful religiosity or cultural Catholicism and dangerous governments. Peru’s presidency just underwent some drastic sudden changes, and the country is not at peace.

Thanks for your prayers. God has answered so much! Thanks to God for confirming to a guy to help me plant Calvary Moyobamba.  Thanks to God that many people in Moyobamba are excited for the church plant.  Thanks to God we have grown in our friendships with several locals in Moyobamba, including Pastor Alfredo’s son.  Thanks to God there was unity between the team in the recent church plant.  Thanks to God we helped the continual construction of Pastor Alfredo’s church in San Rafael, where he wants to host bible teachers teaching to men who are hungry for the Word and want to bring it back to their communities. I am overwhelmed with His guidance and confirmation.

Praise be to Him!

Last month we were facing a financial famine due to unexpected expenses from various directions. God heard our prayers and has provided financial miracles from unexpected sources! Because of these blessings we will be able to visit my (Darryl’s) family in Missouri for the first time since 2017 including a brother whom I have not seen since 2015.   Please pray for wisdom in planning out time in Missouri. There are still a lot of schedule/logistical issues to figure out. Please pray for wisdom, logistics, scheduling, and transportation for our time in California. We need to make the most of our time in both places. 
Please pray for the various ministries we partner with: Precious Women Organization, Light Times Magazine, local bible schools, and the international church. Please pray for the right time and wisdom in resuming the production of apologetics/evangelistic videos in the Cambodian language.  Now that our short-term financial needs have been met, please pray for provision for our long term needs (saving for Benjamin’s launch in the USA in four years and long term savings for when our senders retire/pass away).

Good day everyone, Please lift our family in prayer for health and endurance. The last few weeks have been difficult with ear infection for our youngest who is recovering, strep throat, and different symptoms on a daily basis. We ask for wisdom for the doctors who are helping us and everyone who needs their assistance.   

Lift up our youth who are growing deeper in the lord and opening their hearts to the weight of sin they are learning to look for and uproot. We are also preparing to have a prayer walk for our community this coming weekend and we would love to see the Lord work and express his Holy Spirit in wonderful ways.   

Our church also has a dearly loved sister who is in the process of identifying what type of cancer she is dealing with, so we ask the Lord to heal her, provide closeness and unity within our congregation.   

Please pray for my wife’s (Tasha) safety as she is working abroad and is dealing with some foot problems and missing the family. 

Blessings and Prayers,

Johnny and Brenna Varga – Pécs, Hungary

Please pray: 

1. For our women’s Bible study groups that are going on now. Pray for the women participating, that they will grow deeper rooted in Christ and in understanding of God’s word as we do a study “Glimpses of Jesus” in the Old Testament together. Brenna is leading a group of ten young women, with nine different countries/cultures represented in the group. Pray for wisdom and discernment in leading. 
2. For Johnny as he continues to work on his thesis & prepare for final state exam, pray the Lord will lead him and help him through to the end. 
3. Pray for continued divine wisdom, strength, clarity, & rest for our church leadership.  
4. Pray for our marriage, that we may continue to grow in love for the Lord and one another.  

Much love,
