"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble". Psalm 46:1

"If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land". 2 Chronicles 7:14 

The Prayer Team is actively looking for individuals who would like to minister to our congregation by meeting with those who need prayer following the Sunday services. Volunteers are on duty once a month for one service.  At this time, we particularly have a need for the following weeks/services: 1st Sunday/2nd Service, and 3rd Sunday/2nd Service.  If you are interested in serving with the Prayer Team, please contact Rebecca Cooke at 864-385-3368 or rcooke@fellowshipgreenville.org.

Please pray for these other requests:

• Brandi Brogden requests prayer for a family whose daughter has been diagnosed with cancer.
• Mel Furniss asks for prayer for miraculous provision and for comfort in the midst of some grief and anxiety.
• Tracy Koehler would like prayer for continued protection and for God’s direction for the future.

"The three majority-Muslim groups (Shiite Arab, Sunni Arab, and Sunni Kurdish) that compose modern-day Iraq have been in conflict for centuries. Attacks by the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) forced tens of thousands of Christians to flee the country, leaving a small but bold and faithful remnant. For many of these Iraqi Christians, day-to-day life is focused on survival, and yet they faithfully work to advance the gospel. Many of Iraq’s Muslims have rejected Islam and become open to Christ for a variety of reasons. The violence and instability have also led to a revival among traditional Christians, many of whom have come to saving faith and become bold witnesses for Christ." (via: Voice of the Martyrs)

Way to pray: Pray for the growth of house churches and for Bible distributions in Kurdistan. Pray for the internally displaced. Please pray for continued growth in faith and bold faith. 

Juliet is a missionary serving the Lord in Kenya, East Africa. Juliet studied in Moyale, Garissa and Western Kenya. A graduate of the University of Nairobi, she has a bachelor’s degree with a major in Psychology and a minor in Sociology.

Juliet became a born-again believer in her final year of university (2018). As she grew in her walk with God, she received a call to unreached people groups, especially the youth. Her desire is to spread the gospel and transform lives. Currently, she is working with World Mission Centre (WMC) as a frontier missionary in Moyale and surrounding villages.

Juliet's main focus is working with the students in the predominantly Muslim Schools, training them for missions work among tribal people by using the Live School Curriculum—a Missions and Leadership training curriculum that was designed by WMC. The training provided is a step to raising indigenous laborers as well as a future missions-minded generation to serve as senders. The plan is that when these students graduate and go on to university, Juliet would gain entrance into the university and establish a presence there with students she has already discipled in High School.

In December 2023, Juliet married John who is a teacher by profession. He serves as a teacher in a Muslim-dominated girl's high school. He is also passionate about reaching out and discipling Muslims, especially the youth.

Way to Pray: Please pray for Juliet and John as they impact the lives of students around them.
