Praise God for all the ways He has worked in and through our lives and our church over this past year. Thank Him for how He has so faithfully sustained us and granted us perseverance throughout 2025. Ask Him to grow our hope in response to all He has done, continues to do, and will do in the future. Pray for Him to help us all faithfully follow Him wherever He may lead us in 2026 and to confidently rely upon His Spirit to empower us as bold witnesses to HIs gospel here and around the world.

This week we are praying for Athletics for ONE (a4one.org), an organization in Titusville that for the last 10 years has leveraged the power of sports to provide unity, refuge, and restoration through Jesus. They train athletes and encourage members to develop their skills, confidence, and understanding of the redeeming love of Jesus. At this time, the organization is seeking to better understand how they can serve the people in Titusville by meeting spiritual and physical needs of the community

Day 1: Pray for the athletes who come to Athletics for ONE. Pray that they would understand God’s love and goodness. Ask God to draw them into a restorative relationship with Himself through Jesus. Pray that they would enter His presence with abundant gladness, thanksgiving, and praise.

Day 2: Pray for the students from Jefferson County schools in the Titusville area to know God’s goodness and steadfast love. Pray that they would make a joyful noise unto the Lord despite any hard backgrounds, complicated circumstances, and difficult experiences. Pray that they too would sense God’s love through their interactions with Athletics for ONE.

Day 3: Pray for young men across Titusville who may encounter Athletics for ONE. Pray that the love of Christ would awaken these men to know that God is good and faithful. Ask God to soften their hearts and open their eyes to the callings He has placed on their lives.

Day 4: Pray for Jamie Likens and the other staff and board members of Athletics for ONE. Pray that God would continue to reveal Himself as their Good Shepherd. Ask God to provide wisdom and discernment to their leadership as they desire to best serve the Titusville community. 

Day 5: Pray for the ministry partners of Athletics for ONE. Pray that they would serve God with gladness and partner with Athletics for ONE with joy and devotion. Pray that God would especially bless outreach projects led by Samford University students bringing awareness and networking to the ministry of Athletics for ONE through their hard work.

Day 6: Pray for Step by Step, Athletics for ONE’s gym ministry partner. Pray that the leadership, coaches, trainers, and staff members would showcase the joy of being a redeemed child of God. Pray that God would give them opportunities to develop deep relationships and share the good news of Jesus Christ. 

This week we are praying for short term trips and those going on mid term trips in 2026. 

Day 1: Pray that God would move on our hearts to give generously to the Global Offering so that we can continue to provide scholarships to students, families, and trip leaders and enable more people to participate in short term trips. 

Day 2: Ask God to establish the work of our hands as we plan and prepare to take teams to almost every continent in 2026. Pray that God would draw people to these trips to go and support gospel work happening all over the world.

Day 3: Pray that small groups and families would be willing to give of their time and resources to participate in trips. Ask God to use those trips to encourage and equip the church both here and there.

Day 4: Ask God to help our mid term participants prepare to go and serve overseas for an extended amount of time. Pray that they would be faithful to abide in the Word and in prayer as they prepare to go.

Day 5: Pray that God would bless the Global Offering with funds to help support our mid termers as they go out. Ask God to use our faith family to encourage and pray for our mid-termers while they are serving next year. 

Day 6: Ask God to continue to move on the hearts of students and young adults to go and serve alongside our missionaries for a gap year, summer, or several years. Pray that God would use short term and mid term trips to enlarge our hearts for gospel work and long term missions.
