Inner city Prayer Requests:

Thom Keller, Calvary Chapel Lebanon, Lebanon, PA—for favor in our growing Hispanic ministry—we now have three staff members on our Spanish ministry who are reaching out to the community; our Spanish-speaking service every Friday evening is growing, and we have Spanish translation at two of our three Sunday morning services.

Buddy Osborn, The Rock Kensington, Philadelphia, PA—for the approaching summer here in Kensington. Warm weather greatly magnifies the drug trade, homelessness, and violence on our streets. Revival is the only answer here!

Mark Abrams, Calvary Chapel Word of Life, Philadelphia, PA—for a 65,000-sq. ft. building we are going to transform into an after-school program for boys to help get them off the streets; for Philadelphia as violence is at an all time high with 62 homicides this year—a 55% increase from this time last year.Ray Dash, The Rock Christian Fellowship in Newark, NJ—for a worship leader for our church; wisdom as we rebuild areas of our ministry; and clear direction for where to reach out to the community and beyond in this season. Praise God Pastor Greg is back with us after a month in the hospital fighting COVID!

Jose Hernandez, Hope Central Watts Calvary Chapel, Los Angeles, CA—for our community of believers at Hope Central as we continue to be homeless on Sundays and the people are really thirsty for community; an upcoming meeting with a Baptist Church in Watts, trusting that God will open the door for us to rent the church part-time; for laborers to come into the field of Watts and that God would open the eyes of those who hear the Gospel each week; for a refreshing of the Holy Spirit and perseverance for mission in Watts; for the youth camp in June and for the 50 kids attending and encountering God.

Bill Buffington, Sr., Calvary Chapel Inglewood, Los Angeles, CA—that God directs us to our new church home as our current lease is up fall 2021. We thank God for His continued financial provision during these uncertain times.
