✨ WEEK OF PRAYER DAY 5
Troy and Chanel Gause
Marrero, Louisiana

👉 Church business meetings are not normally fertile ground for happy accidents. But Ames Boulevard Baptist Church’s tiny remnant of elderly members unintentionally set a miracle in motion when they voted to hire Troy Gause to mow their grass.

🌱 “That’s how I got to know the church,” Troy says. “I started taking care of their property and learned how they’d dwindled down to just a few faithful members. They were probably just a couple months away from closing their doors.”

⛪ When longtime Ames members like Linda Morrow realized “Troy Gause, Landscaper” was also “Troy Gause, Church Planting Missionary,” they began to pray. “He’d just started a church but needed a place to meet,” she says.

“When we met, it was so clear God was putting us together to replant something new.” Now, the sign out front says Cross Community Church, and the name is not the only thing that’s changed. “There’s life back in this building,” Troy says, “Baptisms are happening, salvations are happening, and this church has been raised from the dead.”

➡️ PRAY FOR:
📌 Humility and understanding as members of Cross Community Church face change.
📌 The new believers Troy has baptized to grow in their faith.
📌 Growth and a gospel witness that the surrounding community will see and be drawn to.

WEEK OF PRAYER DAY 4
Andrew Mark & Petra Adil
Montreal, Quebec

🚨 WEEK OF PRAYER DAY 4
Meet Andrew Mark and Petra Adil
Montreal, Quebec

🦄 “At first, people look at you like you’re a unicorn.”
That’s the initial reaction Andrew Mark and Petra Adil get when they strike up gospel conversations with people in downtown Montreal.

👉 “Quebec is less than 1% evangelical and very ethnically diverse,” Andrew Mark says. “So when people here meet a Christian, they’re actually very curious. They ask all kinds of questions like, ‘How can we know the Bible is true?’ or ‘What’s the difference between your God and my god?’ ”

Every Friday night, Andrew Mark and his evangelism team—“And when we say, ‘team’ ” he says, “we mean our whole church”—go out to the busy sidewalks lined with restaurants and shops to talk with people. “Answering questions, sharing the gospel,” he says, “it’s our favorite thing to do.”

‼️ It’s not surprising, then, that their church plant is growing faster than anyone ever imagined. “For us to baptize ten people in our first year and then to double in size in less than two years—that’s unheard of in Montreal,” Andrew Mark says. “Only a big God can take a small church plant like ours and do such amazing things.”

➡️ PRAY FOR:

📌More fruit to come from Friday night on-the-street gospel conversations.
📌 God to call and equip church planting interns out of Andrew Mark’s church who will help plant more new works.
📌 More Christians to come and share Christ with the 99% of people in Quebec who are lost.
