Many people have asked us,
"How can we pray for you?" We do have specific prayer
needs that we are praying for. Below is a general " How to
pray" list that will almost cover every need a missionary could
have. Kathy & I will be sharing our specific needs and prayer
concerns on this page as well. But for now here are some good prayer
guidelines, not only us but for every missionary that is on the field.
God Bless you and thank you so very much for your prayers!
HOW
TO PRAY FOR MISSIONARIES:
Anointing:
Pray that our missionaries will experience a continued fresh
outpouring of the Holy Spirit's anointing upon their lives and
ministries.
Encouragement:
Discouragement can easily set in amid heavy workloads and adjustments
to cultures. Pray God will strengthen our missionaries spiritually.
Evangelism:
Reaching people for Christ is the heartbeat of missions. Pray that the
Spirit of God will move mightily in crusades and open hearts in
personal evangelism.
Family:
Missionary life requires commitment and sacrifice from every member of
a missionary's family. Pray that God will strengthen family members
and draw them closer to each other in the Lord.
Health:
Many missionaries battle physical illness. Pray for their healing and
sustained strength for the task.
Projects:
Numerous projects are under way on the mission field - church
planting, Bible schools, day cares, Christian schools, renovations,
etc. Pray that materials, workers, and finances will be provided to
complete these projects.
Protection:
Spiritual warfare is real. Missionaries often come under Satan's
attack. Pray that God will shield them from harm and give them victory
in overcoming spiritual darkness.
Provision:
Needs in some countries are especially great. Cost of food, utilities
and other supplies can be staggering. Pray that God will provide for
day-to-day needs.
