PBC Missions

Here are some prayer requests for Prestonwood's Missions currently going on:

Prison Outreach: On the weekend of Nov. 12–14, Prestonwood members will be sharing the Gospel with inmates in multiple prisons throughout DFW. Pray that the inmates would be open to the Gospel and that our people would share with boldness, humility and genuineness.

Prison Outreach: Prestonwood members are ministering to inmates and officers from eight different prisons and jails every month. Pray for continued favor with the officers and inmates in these prisons as we share the Gospel and disciple believers. Pray that God would strengthen and develop the ongoing ministries in each of these places with people, resources and prayer.

Prison Outreach: Each year, approximately 700,000 inmates reenter society. Of those, 70 percent will go back to prison or jail. However, many of those have come to know Christ while in prison. Pray that these would surround themselves with a community of believers to encourage and challenge them. Pray for God’s provision in the area of work, finances and housing.

Serve the City: Continue to pray for all those who will be ministered to during this weekend. Pray for those who are searching for a job, for single mothers who are struggling, and for widows and widowers who need help. Pray that God would call out the people of our church to help meet these needs.

Sudan Update: God worked in amazing ways on our recent trip to Kajo Keji, Sudan. Our Sudan mission team saw three churches started and three more established churches strengthened. Praise God for the 140 people who trusted in Christ for their salvation and followed Him in baptism. Please pray for the e3 Bible students who will be shepherding the churches.

Romania Update: Continue to pray for Troy Geddes, the IMB missionary with whom we serve in Romania, as he begins to disciple new believers in Braila, Romania. Pray also for the health of Troy's wife, Karla, as she we recently diagnosed with Lyme disease.

PBC Missioins

Here are some prayer requests for Prestonwood's Missions currently going on:

Sudan: During Aug. 4-15, 17 members from Prestonwood will travel to Southern Sudan for a church planting mission trip. The team will work alongside Pastor David Kaia, an e3 church planter and Sudanese National. Pray for hearts to be open to the gospel and the successful planting of a new church. Check for daily video updates on the Prestonwood missions website.


Sudan: Southern Sudan is experiencing a difficult drought this summer. This has left many without food and water in the area where our team will be ministering. Pray for rain in this region and for provision to meet the people's physical needs and that while our team is there, they will have opportunities to meet physical needs and share the gospel.

Sudan: Prestonwood joins with e3 Partners to help train pastors and missionaries through Bible School in Kajo Keji, Sudan. Pray for the Bible School students who will be sent out to surrounding villages and cities to share the Gospel and plant churches after their training. Pray that they would be established in right doctrine while in school and that they would be bold in their witness for Christ as they go out among the Sudanese.

Serve the City: Pray for all those who will be ministered to during this weekend. Pray for those who are searching for a job, for single mothers who are struggling, and for widows and widowers who need help. Pray that God would call out the people of our church to help meet these needs.


Romania: Pray for Troy Geddes, the IMB missionary with whom we serve in Romania. Many people came to know Christ during last month's trip; pray for Troy as he begins to disciple many of the new believers in Braila, Romania. Pray also for the health of Troy's family members as they invest their lives in the people of Braila.

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."
1st Corinthians fifteen: fifty-eight

Even though I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. for you are with me; your rod and staff, they comfort me."
