- For God to open up the hearts of Muslims in Regina, particularly those who have active interactions with Christians in the city, so that they will be ready to receive the message of the Gospel.
- For the integration of the Muslim-background believers into the churches of Regina and for their spiritual growth as followers of Jesus.
- At present, while there are solid partner ministries, there is no LMT Network team in the city. Pray for God to raise up leaders who have a heart for connecting people and building the LMT Network.
