North Africa

Bridget has completed her training program and is currently in the process of saying intentional goodbyes to her friends and family in the States. She plans to head towards North Africa the week after Thanksgiving. She is incredibly grateful for her time at Immanuel and for the many believers who are faithfully holding the rope as she moves to make Christ known in a hard-to-reach place. 

Bridget will be joining another couple from Immanuel (M + L) in North Africa, where she hopes to be a support to their family and help see a healthy local church grow. When she arrives, she will focus mainly on language learning and getting involved at a local Christian owned gym where she plans to teach a few women-only self-defense classes. She will be splitting her time between serving one group of people in a wealthy part of town near the gym and serving another group in a poorer area. She hopes the Lord builds His church and fills it with people from both people groups. 

  • Pray for the Lord to care for Bridget as she transitions to North Africa.
  • Pray that God would use her to greatly encourage M + L.
  • Pray for God to save a multitude of the women who she has the opportunity to share Christ with. 
  • Pray for God to do a miracle in this area by building a sturdy outpost of Christ’s Kingdom that will endure the waves of persecution.

Corydon Baptist Church // Corydon, IN

Corydon Baptist Church has been celebrating numerous professions of faith and baptisms in recent months, mostly among their young men and women. Praise God and give Him glory! Corydon is asking God to help their parents and pastors to disciple these new believers faithfully that they might grow in the grace of Christ and be filled with the Holy Spirit. 

CBC is also navigating through several transitions, with one of their pastors scheduled to retire at the end of the year. They will be bringing one of their younger elders onto f/t paid staff to replace the retiring pastor. They desire to honor the faithful man who has served Christ and CBC so well, and for their younger men to be raised up to serve the church in the years ahead. 

CBC has ongoing missionary efforts in various places around the world. They are striving to support their missionaries well and are asking God to raise up and send out more from among them.

  • Pray for God to establish these young men and women in the faith, and for God to cause them to be abundantly fruitful in the years ahead.
  • Pray for God to grant the elders and members wisdom to honor the retiring pastor in a Christlike manner. 
  • Pray for the members of CBC to be growing in holiness, love, and good works.
  • Pray that God would continue to raise up laborers for a global harvest through CBC.

Immanuel Men’s Ministry

The Immanuel’s Men’s ministry exists to glorify God by equipping the men of the church to do the work of ministry. This task is accomplished, in part, through the ministry of the Word on men’s retreats and frequent fellowship breakfasts. The ministry also connects younger men in the church with older men for discipleship.

The next Immanuel Men's Breakfast will be Saturday, December 5th. All Immanuel men and boys are invited along with their guests.

  • Pray that God would use this upcoming breakfast to strengthen the men of Immanuel for the work of ministry.
  • Pray that God would bless the leaders of the men’s ministry with wisdom to lead our men into greater godliness and faithfulness.
  • Pray that new relationships would be formed and existing ones strengthened as men fellowship together.
