Linda’s Prayer Warriors
In early 2026, we officially added this wonderful group of ladies as our recognized prayer team. They faithfully intercede for us every week. We keep them abreast of major happenings and the various needs of our ministry. This includes everything from prayers for children who have come to Christ, to the prayer concerns of our staff members, and prayers for global ministry concerns.

Names, L to R: Susan Dungey, Elizabeth Lopez, Tracy Lewis, Linda Fulghum, Bev Vos, Marsha Gaskill, Linda Oesch (Not pictured: Ava Lewis, Jodie Jemison, and Kelley Crabb)
Prayer, A Foundational Element
Though we likely do not emphasize it enough in public discourse, our ministry – from top to bottom – considers prayer to be the bedrock of our mission. It is like a conduit to the throne room of heaven. Indeed, here is one of the stated CEF Culture Points that define who we are:
The Importance of Prayer as Our Foundation
It is not the work we do, the meetings we hold or the decisions we make that bring the greatest advances in the work; it is the time spent before the throne of God in prayer, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that brings power, laborers and resources into the ministry.
Maybe you would like to join a greater prayer effort that supports our chapter and CEF globally? We are working on a way to better communicate prayer needs. Stay tuned for more information about that. Until we get that developed, please pray for us as the Lord brings us to mind. Thank you.
