Missionaries are people who have said yes to God’s calling and are following Him willingly and obediently to difficult and sometimes dangerous places.

They depend on God’s people to pray for them as they announce the Good News to a lost and dying world. What a privilege is ours to enter the throne room with loving intercession for these special servants of the Lord!

Pray for missionaries to …

• 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.
