The Keating Family // Ireland

December is always a really busy month in the life of Passage Baptist Church. They had over 100 at their Carol Service this year. It was a sweet time singing together about the birth of Christ, and the gospel was clearly proclaimed! One local lady who attended commented to Valarie that she really enjoys standing up and singing together. Roman Catholics in Ireland rarely sing together, so this was a powerful display of God's people magnifying Jesus together.

Shane was back with them for a few weeks! It has been so fun to have him home. Thank you for your prayers for him over the last year. He has had some ups and downs in his move, but the Lord continues to show Himself faithful. Shane flew back to South Florida on December 31st.

  • Pray that those who heard the gospel at the Carol service would respond in repentance and faith.
  • Pray that Shane would continue to settle in the states and to keep growing in faith.
  • Pray for Steve to pastor with grace and humility, and for Valarie as she homeschools the children.

Andy and Kristin Lambert // Webster, New York

Andy has been at Webster Bible Church for just under 18 months (since July 2024), serving as the associate pastor for youth, children, Sunday School, and small groups, among other things. Webster Bible Church currently has a men's group that meets every Tuesday to study, fellowship, and pray.

Although Andy doesn't preach routinely (6–8 times/year), when he does, it is certainly a joy and pleasure, something he is growing into. He has also had the joy of interacting with and helping young men navigate career issues. Kristin and Andy need prayer and wisdom as they have three aging parents locally that have different needs.

  • Pray that they will connect with individuals in their youth ministry on a personal basis for discipleship.
  • Pray that WBC will continue to find ways to impact their local community.
  • Pray that Andy will be useful influencing their overseas missions efforts.
  • Pray that their upcoming marriage class (Jan–March 2026) will be used in the lives of many couples.

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, February 28th, with teaching on the topic of Wise and Foolish Talk. 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.
