2. This Week’s Prayer Focus & A Call to Examine Our Hearts

You’ll notice that this week’s prayer list is almost identical to last week’s. The only change is that we’ve added a new section to pray for the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.

This is very close to home for us. Long before the situation in Springfield was ever in national headlines, my home church had already begun building relationship with a Haitian church there. What God is doing among them has been one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.

We talk a lot about prayer, but I had the privilege of being present for one of their prayer meetings—and it was powerful. The depth of hunger, unity, and persistence in prayer honestly puts us to shame. They know how to pray.

I want to ask you very directly: lay aside any political leanings, opinions, or talking points, and pray for our Haitian brothers and sisters like they are your own flesh and blood. Pray for their safety, their provision, their pastors, their children, their future, and that the work of God in their midst would only increase.

Also, as with last week, our prayer list begins with a simple but serious call: “It begins in me.” Before we intercede for cities and nations, we ask the Lord to search our own hearts.

This week I had a dream that the Lord used to draw me into some deep self-reflection. Below, I’ll share our full prayer list, and beneath that I’ll share the dream.

I’d ask you to:

• Read through the prayer list slowly.

• Sit with the words of the dream.

• Ask the Holy Spirit to shine His light on anything in your heart that needs to be surrendered, cleansed, or realigned.

Let’s allow God not only to hear our prayers for others, but to transform us as we pray.

Prayer List

It Begins in Me

Search me, God, and remove the scales from my own eyes. Refine me and lead me in Your paths and ways. I submit myself to You. I submit myself to the Potter’s wheel.

Dayton to Cincinnati

We are praying for clarity of assignment.

A military unit does not march without aim. We are asking the Lord to clearly reveal where He is pointing us, what He is birthing, and how He is calling us to move in this season.

We are praying for an increased burden for prayer, both for ourselves and for those around us. We repent for prayerlessness and ask the Lord to restore the art of prayer within His people.

Multiplication of Intercessors

We are praying for a multiplication of intercessors.

May God use us to birth new intercessors, awaken dormant prayer warriors, and raise up both seasoned and young voices who will stand in the gap.

As we pray, we discern a great burden for the multiplication of intercessors. Use us, God, to multiply intercessors. By January 1st, 2027, may our group of intercessors be positioned to launch a dozen new intercessor groups. Send the people to raise us up, and give us the wisdom to walk this out faithfully.

Churches & Community

We are praying for our churches and the churches in our region.

We ask for renewal, humility, repentance, and alignment with the heart of God.

We are praying for the community within our region, with special focus on:

• Women and children

• The homeless and vulnerable

• Those impacted by exploitation, abuse, and trafficking

We are asking the Lord to bring healing, protection, provision, and restoration, and to expose and dismantle systems that prey upon the vulnerable.

Haitian Immigrants – Springfield, Ohio

We are praying specifically for the Haitian immigrant community in Springfield, Ohio.

We ask for protection, provision, and peace for families navigating displacement, cultural transition, and uncertainty.

We pray for favor, wisdom, and compassion among civic leaders, educators, employers, churches, and social systems interacting with this community.

We ask the Lord to heal trauma, strengthen families, and guard hearts from fear, division, and exploitation.

May the Church rise with humility and action—serving, listening, advocating, and loving well.

We pray that Haitian believers would be strengthened in faith, that the Gospel would bear much fruit, and that this community would encounter Jesus not only in word, but in tangible love and righteous justice.

Unity & Hunger

We are praying for a unified Kingdom of God, not divided by church walls, denominations, or geography.

We ask the Lord to knit together His Body in humility, love, and shared obedience.

We are praying that God would raise up disciples in our communities with a deep hunger for multiplication—and beyond multiplication, a deep spiritual hunger for the things of God that cannot be satisfied. Give us an unquenchable thirst for more.

Fire, Purity, & Stewardship

We define our region as Dayton to Cincinnati.

We are praying that the fire of God would consume our region, purify it, and awaken hearts to righteousness and truth.

We are praying that God would expose hidden sin within church leadership from Dayton to Cincinnati, with particular focus on sexual sin, abuse, and corruption.

We are praying not for quiet removal, but for true exposure, accountability, repentance, and righteous consequences—so that sin is fully rooted out and healing can come.

In places where exposure is happening, we ask that God would raise up people with His heart—carrying hearts for restoration, free from bitterness and hatred.

In places where exposure has already occurred, may the victims be restored unto You, God. In these same places, where restoration is taking place, we pray that what remains would be strengthened and multiplied, and that leaders and communities would walk forward in divine assignment.

May the Church and its leaders return to holiness.

We are praying for wisdom among ourselves and among church leadership to steward the revival that is already bursting forth—guarding what God is birthing and not allowing it to be stolen or compromised.

Revival of Prayer

We are praying for a revival of prayer to sweep across our region, shaping not just individuals, but the entire prayer culture of the Church.

We are declaring that prayer will no longer be peripheral, but central.

Scripture Declaration

We are praying and declaring Isaiah 43:18–19 (KJV) over our region:

We declare that a prayer revival is the new thing God is doing.
We declare that it is springing forth now.
We declare that God is making a way where there has been dryness, confusion, and weariness.
We declare that rivers are flowing in the desert places of our region.

Dream from 1/27/26

I had a dream where I was in the back of a truck. The truck had a cap over the bed. I was in the back of the truck with another individual. In the cab of the truck was another group of people.

I understood that everyone in the truck—both in the cab and in the bed—represented a group of people doing life and ministry together. There was also an unspoken understanding among them that they were all in competition with one another. To rise above meant laying oneself down, and doing so was a choice.

Saying yes to this competitive attitude meant allowing your soul to rot.

On top of this unspoken competition, there was also an understanding that being in the cab was everything. Those in the truck bed—myself and the other person—honestly didn’t mean much. We were aware that we were seen as extra weight, and those in the cab had little regard for us. We didn’t care. To be in the bed meant you had to go low. We were there to do what was right.

As the truck was driving, there was a storm. The rainfall was heavy. The wind was strong. The road cut through a wilderness and was full of hills and curves.

The person I was in the bed with opened the window of the shell above the tailgate and recklessly stuck half of their body out. As they did, something horrific happened. The truck hit a bump, and they flew out and were run over.

I did not act immediately.

Instead, I hesitated and deliberated. My immediate thought was that if I made a big deal out of this, those in the cab would get frustrated with me for delaying their progress. If I said nothing, then when we parked and got out, they wouldn’t even realize the person was gone, and we would continue on as if nothing had happened.

On the other hand, I knew that was wrong, and the right thing to do was to fight for our friend who had just fallen out of the vehicle.

I deliberated longer than I should have. There should have been no deliberation or hesitation.

After a moment, I began banging on the back of the truck, screaming about what had just happened. Those driving refused to stop.

I saw a police car pass us going the opposite direction. I ran to the back of the truck and flung open the same window the other person had fallen out of. I stuck half my body out and nearly fell out myself. I began waving down the officer. The cop turned around, turned on the sirens, and pulled us over.

As soon as we stopped, before the officer approached, I jumped out of the back of the truck and ran to the driver’s door. The driver rolled down the window and asked me what was going on.

I began to weep. As I wept and explained what had happened, it was as if my emotions and words were not my own. They were the heart and words of God, begging us to take action.

The person in the passenger seat lashed out at me, explaining that it was the other person’s fault for falling out and that they should have taken safety precautions. Though it wasn’t spoken, this person was thrilled with the situation. The person who fell out was probably dead, and in his mind, I had just committed ministry suicide by stopping their progress and flagging down the police. All of this meant less competition for him.

The person driving was the leader of our endeavor. As they assessed the situation, their heart leaned toward the counsel of the passenger, who was loud, vocal, and wise according to the world. Despite leaning toward the passenger’s logic, the driver declared, “Since the police are involved now, we have to go search for the other person. It’s the right thing to do.”

There was a third person in the cab, sitting between the driver and the passenger. They spoke no words. They simply followed whatever the driver decreed.

In reflecting on this, the Holy Spirit pressed four things on me:

There is not much difference between my hesitation and the outright rebellion of the person in the passenger seat.

Referencing the driver: doing the right thing because our hand is forced is not truly doing the right thing.

Referencing my own hesitation: doing the right thing because I feel obligated to do so is also not truly doing the right thing.

Through all of this, I believe God is saying, “I want you to do the right thing because you love what I love and hate what I hate.”
