🙏 Pray for our missionary of the week, Darla Richardson.

Since 2014, Darla Richardson has ministered to refugees in Memphis, Tennessee—people from Afghanistan, Syria, Morocco, Sudan, Iraq, the region of Kurdistan, and more. When crises in Afghanistan and Ukraine emerged, Darla and the Refugee Memphis team stepped in to help resettle families.

Today Darla directs the refugee ministry at the Memphis Send Relief center, offering English as a second language classes, computer labs, children’s ministry, women’s events, Afghan church, and Bible studies. “We’re meeting felt needs,” she said, “and building bridges for deeper gospel conversations.”

Darla values the friendships she’s built through service. “They’re not just projects or people I help because it’s my job. They’re my friends, and I’m blessed to know and love them.”

PRAY God would give Darla wisdom and guidance as she leads the Refugee Memphis ministry center.

🙏 Pray for our missionaries of the week, Kevin and Andria Ibanez.

Kevin and Andria Ibanez lead O’side Church in Oceanside, California, reaching mostly younger adults from underserved and unreached backgrounds—though their ministry touches all life stages.

Ministry in Oceanside is challenging. “It’s hard to get people to commit,” Kevin
explained. “They’re busy or overwhelmed, and showing up for discipleship can be a
struggle.” Still, the Ibanezes are seeing lives transformed as people encounter the
love, joy, and hope of Jesus.

Kevin shared about a group of young adult men who recently came to Christ.
Many joined a life-changing missions trip to Davao City in the Philippines. “Most
couldn’t afford it, but we prayed,” Kevin said. “God provided through generous
supporters, and He used our team in an incredible way.”

PRAY God would provide a building for O’side Church.
