As we enter into the Christmas season, Church of God World Missions encourages everyone to pray God’s blessings on our missionaries.
What greater gift could we give our missionaries than to pause to lift them up in prayer? If you have a personal relationship or acquaintance with one or more missionaries, pray specifically for them. If not, please pray in general for all our missionaries. Let the following list guide your prayers for them.
- Love God with all their hearts, souls, and minds.
- Be humble and submissive in spirit to the Lord.
- Be diligent and consistent in spiritual disciplines of Bible study and prayer.
- Be protected physically, spiritually, and emotionally.
- Know wisdom, understanding and leadership from God.
- Live pure and holy lives in thought, word and action.
- Be bold in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.
- Be able to rest in the Lord, to trust His faithfulness when feeling overwhelmed by the needs around them.
- Have favor in the eyes of local governments for open doors to the Gospel. Be strong and courageous, especially in hostile environments.
- Reflect the love of Christ in all relationships.
- Experience a special touch of the Lord’s presence in times of loneliness.
Thank you for the gift of your time. Thank you for the gift of your prayers for our missionaries. Thank you for the gift of your prayers for those in the world who don’t know Christ as Savior.© 2011 Church of God World Missions [1]
