Father’s Heart Ministry Presents
How’s This for Transparency?
Standing with Father’s Heart Ministry in Focused Prayer
September 27, 2026 · Russ Walden & the FHM Team
What are we going to do? We’re going to act like God’s word is true. We are going to do what God would do if He were in our position, because He lives in us to deliver, direct, and lead.
Dear FHM Family and Friends,
In 2019, the Lord gave us a clear directive: Raise up a prayer perimeter. Looking back through seasons of deep transition, including the profound loss of Kitty in 2020, we have seen that the call to stand together in unified intercession is as essential now as ever. God’s mercy remains our rock, and we know that spiritual vitality and faithful stewardship walk hand in hand.
When our community commits to praying in one accord, heaven responds. As we navigate this current chapter at Father’s Heart Ministry, we are inviting our broader family of partners and friends to stand in the gap with us.
01 Renewal
Spiritual Renewal & Divine Favor
Pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit across every facet of FHM. Ask the Lord to keep this work deeply anchored in prayer, prophetic declaration, and renewed spiritual strength, inviting His supernatural favor into every effort.
02 Direction
Clarity of Vision & Future Direction
Pray for divine discernment for our leadership and board as decisions are made for the road ahead. Stand with us for fruitfulness in upcoming initiatives—such as live broadcasts with our team, expanded video teachings, guest prophetic words, and potential pathways for mentoring. Pray also for Russ as he serves and ministers within his local faith community, that Christ would be glorified through his gifts.
03 Focus
Protection Against Distraction
Ask the Lord to guard our focus from the “tyranny of the urgent.” Pray that daily friction and administrative demands do not crowd out core Kingdom priorities, keeping our hearts steady on what matters most.
04 Health
Divine Health, Healing & Vitality
We ask you to lift up Russ as he navigates nerve-related mobility issues, fatigue, blood pressure, and diabetes management, believing for complete strength and energy. Please also lift up our ministry team and other staff members, asking the Father for physical renewal, stamina, and sound health.
05 Care
Pastoral Care & Counseling Anointing
We give thanks for Kris stepping up to care for pastoral calls and for Roy assisting with prophetic counseling. Pray for fresh insight, spiritual stamina, and a heavy anointing upon them as they minister to those reaching out in need of hope and counsel.
06 Publishing
Excellence & Precision in Publishing
Pray for mental clarity, sharp discernment, and wisdom in stewarding digital platforms and emerging tools to produce high-impact teachings, articles, and media—maintaining uncompromised spiritual integrity in every word sent out.
07 Reach
Wider Kingdom Reach & Discipleship
Pray that our podcasts, videos, emails, and articles reach hungry hearts prepared by the Spirit. Pray for genuine fruitfulness, open doors of influence, and committed disciples who will run with this vision.
08 Provision
Financial Provision & Operational Strength
We are immensely grateful for the faithful core of partners who support FHM every month. Please join us in believing for our long-term goal of 500 committed monthly partners. Due to tightening cash flow over recent weeks, Russ has personally foregone his salary for the past six weeks in order to ensure our four staff members are fully paid without interruption—standing on the Scripture that “children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.” Pray for an increase in monthly and one-time support so all staff commitments, operational costs, and ministry reserves are completely met and restored.
If you feel led to send a personal love offering directly to Russ outside the ministry—which is non-tax-deductible—you may do so via Zelle to russellwalden@gmail.com or by mail to 3759 S. Christine Ave, Springfield, MO 65804.
09 Transition
Grace for Seasons of Transition
The God who never changes often leads us through times of significant change. Pray that our faith remains steadfast, adaptable to the Holy Spirit’s direction, and ready to minister effectively to the thousands God has assigned to our care.
✦ Standing Together
Thank you for your love, your partnership, and your faithful prayers. If the Holy Spirit places an insight, Scripture, or encouragement on your heart for FHM during your time with Him, we would love to hear from you.
Standing together in Christ,
Russ Walden & the FHM Team
