Stacey D. Wheeler | Friends Women Prayer Coordinator & Director of Communications and Church Planting Support
Friends Women Fellowship Mid-America exists to connect women across the Mid-America region as they seek to pray, give, and work for missions. In mobilizing prayer, our partner missions organization Evangelical Friends Mission has requested Mid-America Yearly Meeting cover three missions fields in organized prayer meetings: South Sudan, Tanzania, and Mexico. Five prayer leaders have established prayer groups that are currently meeting:
- Janet Penna (Northridge Friends/Kansas/South Sudan)
- Donnetta Carpenter (Northridge Friends/Kansas/South Sudan)
- Shelda Cay Kearns (Booker Friends/Texas/Mexico)
- Diane Newman (Bayshore Friends/Texas/Mexico)
- Anna Cyr (Hutchinson Friends/Kansas/Tanzania)
Please Join Us Once a Month as We Pray for our Missionaries! The Online Hour of Prayer exists to give those who desire to intercede for missionaries around the world the opportunity to gather and call on the name of the Lord on behalf of those on the mission field. Our first online prayer meeting was October 22, 2024 with 11 intercessors. Since that meeting, we’ve joined together online 6 times, lifting our voices to God in thanksgiving, petition, and, at times, crying out to the Lord for his mercy and grace. We meet once a month, January through October, on the fourth Tuesday of the month from 6:00-7:00. Twenty-two women signed up to pray with us last year. Some are unable to attend the meeting and pray on their own time, following the itinerary sent out each month. In January of 2025, Maria and Edwin Giron joined us to share their personal vision for ministering in Mexico and Ecuador. Connie Young, DeAnna Linville, and Donnetta Carpenter have also shared during these meetings to help us better know how to pray specifically for certain key situations. We’ve seen God answer prayer and know he is always moving. This meeting is not just for women— in fact, it was great to have Karl Newman from Bayshore join us in July—we just don’t have any men signed up yet! Thank you to each person who has prayed with us over this last year! If you would like to join this Zoom prayer group or know someone who would like to be a part, please test at 480-734-3656 or email at stacey@efcmaym.org. “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” (Mark 11:24).
