Dear Co-laborers in Missions,

Thank you for joining us in prayer and enabling your PMU missionaries to devote ourselves to efforts to spread the message of God’s glorious grace around the world and build his church in those nations.

If you would pray for our ministries this summer we would be very grateful.  Our family will be serving in VBS with our local church in Cincinnati, OH.  At the PMU office, Kelly and I are preparing for the annual meeting to be held August 5.  This includes a lot of communication with missionaries, the PMU Treasurer and others as we prepare to report on ministries and make plans for 2026, including budget approval.  It also marks 40 years of gospel labors for PMU.  To God be the glory!

Please also pray for me (Casey) and our daughter, Madi, as we serve at the English Camp in Brazil (June 23-July 7).  Immediately after returning to the U.S., I head to the Great Lakes Presbytery Camp (July 8-12).  By God’s grace, I’ll have opportunities to speak to 250+ youth this summer about the gospel, life in Christ, and missions.  Please pray for students to be saved, commit to living for Christ, and for some to be dedicated to pursuing service in gospel missions.  Please pray for spiritual as well as physical strength for a busy summer of ministry.

For Christ and His Kingdom,

The Southerlands
