March 2026 Prayer Letter

News from Mary:

Thank you so much for your continued prayers for our ladies’ weekly Bible study and crafting time. One attendee recently shared that she was going to miss a meeting due to a sudden appointment, but her husband encouraged her, saying, “No, you go to Bible study. You love it, and you come home so much more relaxed!” That was such an encouragement for me to hear.

We are grateful to share that we now have eight ladies attending regularly. We were also blessed to welcome another lady, Julie, who is visiting from Italy and used to attend our church years ago. The ladies are truly enjoying the Bible study and the opportunity to share about their week. It has been such a refreshing time of fellowship in the middle of the week. Please continue to pray that the Lord would bring more ladies to join us.

On a personal note, my migraines have been quite difficult over the past six weeks. I would greatly appreciate your prayers over the next couple of months as we begin a short furlough and attend the BWM Spring Meeting in Indianapolis. We will be traveling quite a bit—flying from Tirana to San Francisco on March 25, then making a round trip from San Francisco to Chicago in April, before returning home to Tirana on May 21. Please pray for safe travels, as well as strength and good health during this busy season.

We would also ask for prayer for Jonathan and Becky Earnhart, my brother and sister-in-law, along with their youngest daughter, Madyson, as they prepare to return to the mission field in Peru. Additionally, my mom will be relocating in April to an assisted living facility in Huntsville, Alabama, where Jonathan will be based. This is a significant time of transition for our family, and we would be grateful for your prayers for each of them.

News from Norman:

It is always a blessing to hear from others in our church as they open up their hearts and share from the Word. Recently, we had Brother Will speak and challenge us, and I look forward to hearing from Eli and others in the future. I am very grateful that, as we leave for a short furlough, there are several men who can faithfully preach in our absence.

I am also thankful for the opportunity I have had over the past few months to preach and teach on the mission of the church, church membership, and the church constitution. Please pray that Believers will continue to grow in their love for and understanding of the church.

Prayer Requests:

· Mary’s health (migraines)

· Short furlough travels (March 25 through May 21)

· Wednesday men mentoring/fellowship

· Ladies’ Bible study and crafting time

· Pastor Fredi and Leila (health and ministry)

Thank you again for standing with us in prayer—we are so thankful for your support and encouragement.
