Please pray for Jared, a refugee who hosts and leads a refugee small group every week. He prepares a meal for the refugees who attend, fellowships with them, and prays for them. Please pray that God will encourage and strengthen Jared as a leader. And please pray for the relationships between Jared and those he leads to deepen and that he will grow closer in his own walk with the Lord as well. Jared also desires to connect with friends, neighbors and coworkers who do not yet know Jesus by inviting them to participate in the small group. Please pray for many opportunities to extend these invitations. Also, please pray that non-believing guests will feel welcomed and encounter the love of Christ when attending the small group.
