We believe this search will only succeed if it is soaked in prayer. As churches across Montana join us in seeking God’s guidance, we invite you to pray intentionally and consistently for every part of this process. Whether you pray alone, with your family, or as a church body, your prayers are vital.

Specific Prayer Requests:

1. Pray for Clarity and Discernment
   – Ask God to give the Search Committee and Board of Directors clear direction in every step. Pray that we hear His voice above all others.
2. Pray for Unity Among Churches
   – Pray that this process would unify—not divide—the churches of the MTSBC, and that it would strengthen our shared commitment to the Great Commission.
3. Pray for the Right Leader
   – Ask the Lord to prepare the heart of the man He is calling to this role, and to give him the courage to say “yes” when the time is right.
4. Pray for Wisdom in Evaluation
   – Pray that the committee has wisdom in reading applications, conducting interviews, and asking the right questions.
5. Pray for Integrity and Transparency
   – Pray that every part of this process is marked by honesty, humility, and a spirit of openness before the Lord and one another.
6. Pray for Our Churches and Pastors
   – As we await new leadership, ask God to strengthen pastors, encourage church members, and bless local ministries across Montana.
7. Pray for God’s Timing
   – Ask the Lord to guide the timeline of this process—not rushed, not delayed—so that it aligns perfectly with His plan.
