15 Days of Prayer — Radiant Christian Life Church

March 29 – April 12, 2026

Focused | Bold | Active

Beginning on Palm Sunday and carrying us through the week of Easter, we are asking every person at Radiant to set aside 15 days for intentional, daily prayer. Each day, a new prayer prompt — written by our Elders and Missions Team — is posted here to guide you.

Week 1 (Mar. 29 – Apr. 4) focuses locally: our neighbors, our families, and the people we are inviting to Easter Sunday. Ask God to place 2–3 names on your heart.

Week 2 (Apr. 5 – Apr. 12) turns outward: our missionaries, the nations they serve, and our One Day offering with Convoy of Hope. Prayer and generosity are connected acts of worship.

Week 1 · March 29 – April 4

Pray for Those Around Us

Preparing our hearts for Easter and praying boldly for the people God is placing on our hearts to invite. Ask God to show you 2–3 people by name.

Day 1

Sunday, Mar. 29 — Palm Sunday

Our Church & Hamilton County

Acts 2:17–18

Read Today's Prayer

Lord, Your Word tells us that in the last days You will pour out Your Spirit on all people — sons and daughters will prophesy, young men will see visions, old men will dream dreams.

May Radiant Church be Your church in these last days. Pour out Your Spirit on us. May we prophesy, see visions, and dream dreams in Your holy name. Use us as an agent for the harvest of souls in Hamilton County.

Lord, You have blessed our church and brought us together for this very purpose at this very time in history. Enable us to be Your light in this dark world — Your witnesses as we look forward to Your return.

We pray in the name that is above every name — Jesus Christ. Amen.

— Pat Carter, Elder

Day 2

Monday, Mar. 30

Neighbors & the Great Commission

Matt. 28:19–20

Read Today's Prayer

Lord, You gave us the Great Commission — to go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

As we look toward Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, we want to bring people into the saving knowledge of You. Holy Spirit, give us the promptings and courage to seek out those around us who perhaps don't know You. Show us opportunities to plant seeds that only You can make grow.

We pray for family members and friends who need Your touch. Lord, we need Your help to point them to You. Pour out Your Holy Spirit on us — enable us to be Your witnesses and advance Your kingdom. Amen.

— Pat Carter, Elder

Day 3

Tuesday, Mar. 31

Seeing People as Jesus Sees Them

Mark 12:30–31

Read Today's Prayer

Father, as we approach the celebration of Jesus' death and resurrection, help us to see the people we encounter as You see them.

Jesus, when asked what the greatest commandments are, You responded: first, to love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength; and second, to love our neighbor as ourselves. As we consider how You expressed Your love for us through the sacrifice of Your Son, help us to recognize those around us as being loved the same way — and to be Your instruments to communicate that love.

Open our eyes to see the hurting, the lonely, the needy, the hiding who cross our paths. Give us boldness to share the hope that only You can give. Make us attentive to Your Spirit and ready to speak words of empathy, understanding, encouragement, and healing at opportune times.

Bring to remembrance those we know who need an encounter with You. Prepare their hearts and give us the courage to invite them to church this Easter. Help us be Your hands and feet to express the love You have for them.

We praise You for Your faithfulness and ask You to draw the people of our families, our neighborhoods, and communities to You. In the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

— Dave Langebartels, Elder

Day 4

Wednesday, Apr. 1

The Prayer Wall & Easter

Ps. 34:18

Read Today's Prayer

Lord, today we lift up every request represented on our prayer wall. Every unspoken burden, every written need, every tear shed in faith — You see it all.

You are near to the brokenhearted. Bring healing to the sick, provision to the struggling, comfort to the grieving, and direction to the uncertain. Strengthen faith where it feels fragile.

We also pray ahead for Easter. Stir hearts even now. Draw those who would never attend on their own. Use invitations, conversations, and simple obedience to bring people into an encounter with You.

Let testimonies rise from answered prayers. May our church be marked by dependence on You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

— Missions Team

Day 5

Thursday, Apr. 2

Co-Workers & Our Mission Field

Col. 4:6

Read Today's Prayer

Today we focus our prayers on our co-workers — especially those who are yet to come to faith. We pray that God continues to help us realize that we are His ambassadors in our workplaces, and that our unsaved co-workers are part of our mission field.

Let us pray that our words will be seasoned with salt, ministering grace to them. Let us pray that the way we live our lives will be a witness to them. Let us pray that God will help us to love those who despitefully use us and persecute us (Matt. 5:44).

Let us pray that they come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord, Redeemer, and Savior. Amen.

— Coleman Obasaju, Elder

Day 6

Friday, Apr. 3 — Good Friday

Boldness to Invite

Acts 4:29

Read Today's Prayer

Lord, today we ask for boldness. Not harshness, not pressure — but Spirit-filled courage to speak about Jesus with clarity and love.

Your disciples prayed, "Grant to Your servants to continue to speak Your word with all boldness." That is our prayer too. Open our eyes to opportunities in workplaces, coffee shops, ball fields, and family gatherings.

Remove fear of rejection. Replace hesitation with compassion. Remind us that people are not projects — they are deeply loved by You. Help us listen well and speak truth gently.

Let our lives reflect the gospel before our words ever do. And when the moment comes, give us the right words at the right time. In Jesus' name, Amen.

— Missions Team

Day 7

Saturday, Apr. 4

Unsaved Family Members

John 16:8

Read Today's Prayer

Today we focus our prayers on our unsaved family members. Some of us have been praying for their salvation for years. Don't be discouraged by how long we have been waiting for an answer.

We serve a God who answers prayers, and no prayer prayed in faith is ever wasted. There is none of our unsaved family members too far gone for the grace and mercy of God to reach and save.

We continue to pray for all of them, that the Lord the Holy Spirit will convict them of sin and righteousness and judgment. In Jesus' name. Amen.

— Coleman Obasaju, Elder

Pray for Your 3

Ask God to put 2–3 names on your heart this week. Pray for them by name. Then invite them to Easter. A simple invitation can change someone's eternity. Pick up a physical Easter invite card at the Welcome Desk.

Week 2 · April 5 – April 12

Pray for the Nations & Feed the World

Connecting Easter hope with global mission. We pray for our missionaries, the nations they serve, and ask God to move through our One Day offering with Convoy of Hope.

Day 8

Easter Sunday, Apr. 5

Our Church Family

Ps. 133:1

Read Today's Prayer

Lord, today we lift up our church family to You. Thank You for the gift of gathering, worshiping, and serving together. Knit our hearts together in unity and love.

Your Word says, "How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity." Guard that unity among us. Protect us from division, pride, or distraction. Keep our focus on Jesus and His finished work.

Strengthen the elders, pastors, staff, and volunteers. Fill every gathering with Your presence. Let worship be wholehearted. Let preaching be faithful. Let prayer be powerful. Form us into a people marked by humility and joy.

May we not simply attend church, but be the Church — living stones built together for Your glory. Shape Radiant into a place where people encounter grace, truth, and transformation. In Jesus' name, Amen.

— Missions Team

Day 9

Monday, Apr. 6

Israel & the Middle East

Exod. 19:5–6

Read Today's Prayer

Heavenly Father, You made a covenant with the nation of Israel: "Out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. You will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation."

Lord, we pray for Your holy nation of Israel — for the leadership of the nation, their military, the communities, and the people of Your treasured possession. We stand with them in prayer for peace and Your divine protection and providence.

Lord, give them strength in these difficult times, peace in their uncertainty, and wisdom to navigate through these difficult struggles. Lord, the only solution for the entire Middle East is You, Jesus.

We pray that out of the ashes will rise Your Church, Your Kingdom, Your Glory, Your Power. You are the only answer. We pray in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

— Pat Carter, Elder

Day 10

Tuesday, Apr. 7

The Global Church & Open Doors

Acts 1:8

Read Today's Prayer

Father, we pause to pray specifically for the churches and missionaries serving across the world. We pray that the power of Your Holy Spirit will be poured out through Your church universal, and that people in the most populated to the most remote parts of the world would hear Your Word and be drawn to You.

Break down the strongholds that have restricted the gospel. Open doors before these men and women. Prepare the hearts of the people they will encounter. Empower them to speak with authority the words and message You have given them. Equip them spiritually, physically, and financially to deliver hope and comfort to those in need.

As many areas of the globe are in chaos, bring peace. In the midst of turmoil, bring hope. In the presence of tyranny, bring justice. Allow Your word to go forth unhindered and accomplish what You have sent it to do. Protect the missionaries and the people to whom You are sending them.

Bless, Lord, the efforts of Your servants. In Jesus' name, amen and amen!

— Dave Langebartels, Elder

Day 11

Wednesday, Apr. 8

Our Missionaries by Name

Eph. 3:14–19

Read Today's Prayer

Father, as we approach Your throne today, we bring to Your remembrance those who have heard Your call to "go and make disciples of all nations." We bring each of these missionaries we support by name before You, asking for Your blessing and empowerment:

Cecil & Ginny Campbell · David & Donna Delp · David & Amy Dingman · Zach Maddox · Jason & Andrea Morrison · Mark Flattery · Greg Webby · Carolyn Slaughter · Pastor Godfry · Jhony & Amy Pixcar · Mark II Ministries · Mission Boundless · Nicaragua Resource · Open Doors of Westfield

We pray for each of these as Paul prayed in Eph. 3:16–19 — that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen them with power through His Spirit in their inner being, so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith, and that they may grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.

Lord, give them wisdom, provide their needs, and surround them with Your hedge of protection. Encourage them as they go. Show Yourself strong on their behalf. Confirm that You go before them, preparing their paths. We pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

— Dave Langebartels, Elder

Day 12

Thursday, Apr. 9

Areas of Crisis & Need

Ps. 46:1–3

Read Today's Prayer

Today we focus our prayers on the millions of people who have been affected by disasters and wars — those still suffering from hurricanes, fires, domestic terrorism, and the ongoing conflicts in Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, Iran, Sudan, Venezuela, Haiti, and other nations.

We pray that the Prince of Peace will bring peace and healing to these places. We pray that the light of the gospel will penetrate these regions, and that there will be a mighty revival that leads to the salvation of millions of souls.

In Jesus' name. Amen.

— Coleman Obasaju, Elder

Day 13

Friday, Apr. 10

Compassion & Obedience

Rom. 9:2

Read Today's Prayer

Father, give us Your heart. Break our indifference. Enlarge our compassion.

Paul wrote of his "great sorrow and unceasing anguish" for those who did not know Christ. Shape that kind of love in us — not guilt-driven, but Spirit-led.

Help us believe that people truly need Jesus. Move us from comfort to obedience. From awareness to action.

May Your kingdom come in our neighborhoods and to the ends of the earth. In Jesus' name, Amen.

— Missions Team

Day 14

Saturday, Apr. 11

The Unreached

Matt. 9:37

Read Today's Prayer

Father, today we pray for those who have never heard the name of Jesus. Entire communities live and die without knowing the hope of the gospel.

You told us the harvest is plentiful. Raise up workers. Call and send laborers with courage and humility. Protect believers serving in difficult regions. Let underground churches flourish. Cause Your Word to spread even where it is opposed.

Open hearts among the unreached. Let dreams, conversations, and Scripture reveal truth. May many come to know that salvation is found in Christ alone. In Jesus' name, Amen.

— Missions Team

Day 15

Sunday, Apr. 12 — One Day

Grace Over Striving

Eph. 2:8–9

Read Today's Prayer

Lord, many around the world are striving to earn what You freely give. They carry burdens of performance, fear, and uncertainty.

Your Word declares, "By grace you have been saved through faith… not a result of works." Let that truth break through confusion. Reveal Jesus as Savior, not taskmaster. Replace striving with rest. Replace fear with assurance.

Open spiritual eyes to see the finished work of the cross. In Jesus' name, Amen.

April 12 · One Day to Feed the World

One Day — Feed the World

A Convoy of Hope Initiative

On Sunday, Apr. 12, Radiant joins churches across the country for One Day to Feed the World — Convoy of Hope's global giving campaign. The idea is simple: everyone gives one day's wages. Not equal giving — equal sacrifice.

Right now, 2.33 billion people face food insecurity. Convoy of Hope feeds over 600,000 children every school day and responds to disasters around the world. Your gift on One Day goes directly toward children's feeding, clean water, and hope for families in crisis.

"God loves a cheerful giver." — 2 Cor. 9:7
