“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.”

—Psalm 127:1a

Evelyn serves in the Middle East region, where access to the gospel is limited, and the process of making disciples is slow, steady, and deeply relational. As her team works to disciple church leaders among an unreached people group, Evelyn handles the financial and administrative logistics that help keep their work sustainable and impactful. She’s also starting fresh in a new city—learning her way, forming connections, and asking God for the kind of community that will strengthen her both personally and spiritually.

Her team is praying toward the launch of a new business venture that would benefit the local community while creating more opportunities for gospel engagement. Evelyn is praying for clarity as she builds relationships, for intentional connections with locals, and for a teammate to join her in the work. In a region where spiritual conversations are rare and trust must be earned slowly, the work can feel fragile—but God is building something through her, brick by brick, relationship by relationship.

As you pray today, lift up these specific requests:

• Ask the Lord to open doors for the launch of a community-minded business that will bless others and create space for gospel conversations.
• Pray for Evelyn to settle into life in her new city and find strong, Christ-centered community.
• Pray for divine appointments and intentional friendships with locals that lead to trust and spiritual curiosity.
• Ask God to raise up a teammate to join Evelyn and share in the mission.
• Pray that Evelyn would remain rooted in her dependence on the Lord and trust Him to meet every need, big and small.
