Pray for a powerful visitation and out pouring of the Holy Spirit at the ISI National Conference June 25-29. Pray this same blessing will be poured out on international student ministries across the nation and around the world. Even now pray the Holy Spirit will be stirring within us a deeper passion for prayer.

Prayer request from Gordy Decker - ISI Director of Training Dear Praying Friends, Our shipment of 25 God's Story phones for Iran are currently being distributed in Persia. We praise God for this progress! On a separate note, I have completely lost contact for several weeks with our translator and distributor of the 25 mobile phones going to Afghanistan. He is currently working out of Pakistan. Please pray for his protection and for successful distribution of these phones as well. Thank you. Your prayers matter!

Update from Seng Tan - ISI President: In our opening session at ISI National Conference on Saturday 6/25 evening, I will share on our “Gilgal moment” (Joshua 4:1-7) and the 3 C’s (Commemoration, Consecration, Celebration) and explain the objective of the 12 tokens (stones) that each of us will present at the prayer-praise-worship session on Tuesday 6/28 and lay down at the foot of a cross as part of our commemoration and thanksgiving before the Lord. Alex Tovar shares example of Commemoration Token or Stone: This sounds awesome. Looking forward to seeing how God uses these times during conference to bring the ISI family closer together!! In case this helps anyone wondering what “stone” or token to bring, I’m thinking of bringing a “mocajete” (a grinding stone, actually mine is made of wood) that is used to grind down seasonings and spices. It is representative of my Guatemalan roots, but also of the period of “grinding” that the Lord took the Home Office team (and all of ISI really) during Covid and beyond. The end result of the “mocajete” or grinding process is a refined flavor and substance that is more pure. I feel the Lord continues to refine the team at the home office (and all ISMs) into a better version of ourselves thru His work in our lives. Let's all pray to this end.

IFI ministry in Columbus, OH had a fire that burned their ministry headquarters. See email below and please pray! Tim Sigman Dear Tim, Thank you for your care, concern, and prayers and for being willing to ask others to pray. There are so many details to be dealt with regarding the restoration from the fire. Here are some things to prayer for: 1. Endurance for our Columbus staff and National Team as they have been displaced and need to sort through papers and other items to determine what can be saved. 2. Temporary office and meeting space for operations and ministry activities. 3. Favor with the city inspectors as determinations are made with regards to repairs. 4. For God to use this to bring our team together. 5. For financial provision to deal with some losses that may not be covered by insurance. 6. For the right construction company to be able to be employed to do the restoration work. A child of the Heavenly Father, Rich Mendola - CEO International Friendships Inc.

Yan and Lorraine (ISI Min Reps from China in Boston) applied for Green Cards over 2 years ago. They have completed everything required, and the 2 Mass US Senators have intervened. They just received a new form to complete. Lorraine's R1 visa (working for a local church) expires May 18. After that time they would not to earn money working. It could be disastrous if they have to return to China. Please pray they will receive their Green Cards in the next 7 days. Thank you.
