1. We are praying Psalm 90:17 over all of our staff and volunteers: “Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish for us the work of our hands—establish the work of our hands!”

2. For ministry increase within the travel, club and recreational sports arenas through greater focus and intentionality by our staff and volunteers.

Prayer Requests:

1. Continued development of relationships with our sports partners.

2. Effectiveness for our FCA Camps taking place in the region.

3. Perseverance for our partners to do what the Lord has called them to do in some of the darkest and most difficult places on earth.

At one of our camps in Columbus, Ohio, 14 campers indicated that they made a decision to make Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior!

Prayer Requests:

1. Board expansion and development throughout our Great Lakes Region.

2. Please pray Matthew 9:36-38 for our region: That God would send laborers into the harvest field called the Great Lakes.

3. Staff expansion in the state of Michigan.

Regional International Coordinator: Matt Yeager

Ministry Moment: College athletes from the U.S. descended upon Barbados in March during their spring break to share their faith with local middle school and high school athletes. They also led sports clinics with the local athletes arranged by FCA affiliate Dean Squires. The lives of everyone involved were forever impacted as a result.

Prayer Requests:

1. For Dean Squires and his team in Barbados as they follow up on new opportunities that arose after college athletes from the U.S. came in March to help with local sports clinics.

2. For FCA affiliate Gerard in Trinidad and Tobago as he hosts his first camp.

3. For Andrew Guerrier as he leads the ministry in Haiti with a growing sports facility that is home to FCA sports teams.
