Prayer: The Essential Foundation of Ministry

As we step into a new year, I want to begin by thanking you for your faithful partnership in the gospel. Your generosity, prayers, and encouragement continue to strengthen Cadence in remarkable ways. Because of you, the good news of Christ’s finished work is shared across military communities worldwide. I am deeply grateful for the way you stand with us.

This year, I would like to invite you to something essential. It is something I believe will shape the future of Cadence and expand the reach of the gospel in powerful ways, and it is something many of you are already doing.

Throughout 2026, our staff will be engaging in intentional rhythms and practices of prayer. We are seeking the Lord with renewed focus, asking Him to lead, sustain, and empower every part of this mission. We know that whatever God intends to do in and through Cadence is bigger than any of us and will be accomplished by His Spirit, not our strength.

On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed that His people would be united—sanctified in truth, defined by love, and one in purpose (John 17). As we pray as one, we reflect the power of the resurrection in our lives, we declare the glory of God, and we will see His Kingdom come in a broken world.

As we step into 2026, we believe prayer must anchor us. I want to invite you, our partners and fellow laborers, to join our staff and leadership in this renewed call to prayer. We long to see God move in power throughout the military community, and we know this work always begins on our knees. Whatever eternal fruit God produces through Cadence will be by His strength alone. If you’d like to sign up to receive monthly prayer requests from us, you can do so at Cadence.org/pray-for-cadence.

Thank you for being a crucial part of this ministry. May the Lord make us one as we pursue His mission together, and may we know and proclaim Him more fully as we seek Him with expectation in the coming year.

In prayer with you,

Dave Hutchings, President
