"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
— Matthew 28:19-20
Because of our commitment to planting gospel-centered churches and making disciples, we partner with missionaries who have crossed geographical boundaries to serve the Lord where there is a great need for more healthy churches. If you're part of Generations, we encourage you to make it a priority to pray for these brothers and sisters who are faithfully laboring to make Christ known!

This past week we had the tremendous honor of hosting Aaron, Kristi, Felix, and Priscilla here in Georgia. It was a wonderful time to reconnect, encourage one another, and get updated on what the Lord is doing in Burkina Faso. Check out the items below to learn how you can be praying:
Aaron and Kristi
- Aaron and Kristi are now officially grandparents! Just a couple weeks ago, their daughter Jana gave birth to Piper Jane Channer. All three Wheaton children have gotten married in the past couple years, so pray that the Lord would guide Aaron and Kristi and give them wisdom as they enter this new season of life.
- Pray that God would continue to use them powerfully from Montana to advance his kingdom in Burkina, even as they're unable to be there in person due to the dangerous conditions in the country.
Felix and Priscilla
- Priscilla told us that last time they visited the U.S. they prayed that God would provide Aaron and Kristi's children with godly spouses, so now that that prayer has been answered, it's their family's turn! Pray especially for their oldest two, Kevin and Maximine.
- Felix's church has identified two new villages where they desire to plant churches in the next 12-18 months. Ask the Lord to prepare the hearts of those who don't yet know him, so that evangelization efforts would be fruitful. Pray also for boldness and strength for those being sent out to plant, and that the name of Jesus would be greatly glorified through healthy new churches.
- Priscilla shared that being a pastor's wife can be a very difficult role at times. Pray that God would fill her with strength for what he's called her to and provide her with deep, life-giving, godly friendships.
- Inflation has hit Burkina hard, and the cost of food and formula for the orphanage has nearly doubled. Pray that God would continue to supply all the needs of the precious children that Felix and Priscilla's church cares for, and consider making a donation. To do so, select the Missions Fund of the Generations giving form and write "Burkina Faso" in the memo line (or do the same in person with a check).
