Pray with our "Mission Friends"

Have you ever wanted to pray for missionaries, but not known how? Don't feel like you are alone. For most of my life I felt the same way. It is easy to pray "God bless the missionaries" and leave it at that. And, I am sure that God hears those prayers. However, I want to challenge you to go deeper than that. So, how do you pray for our missionaries? I am glad you asked. :-)

~ First, if you want to pray for missionaries in general you can go to the prayer section of the IMB website.
If you click on the SUBSCRIPTIONS button then you can subscribe to email updates that share prayer requests for missionaries.

~ If you would like to find specific prayer requests posted by missionaries then you can go to this special section of the IMB Website.

~ If you would like to pray specifically for missionaries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), where Kellye and I serve, then you can go to the CEE Website.
On the upper right-hand side of the screen are some links that will lead you in prayer for our CEE missionaries. These change regularly, so make sure you visit often.

~ And, if you would like pray specifically for our family and our missionary friends we would love to have you as prayer partners. I am adding electronic copies of the prayer cards of some of our friends. There are more. One of the things you can do is download and print these prayer cards and post them on your refrigerator as a reminder to pray for specific families. Clicking on each of the images will bring up a larger version of the card that you can then print.

One last thing. Living a missionary life is not always an easy life to live. No pitty party and no feeling sorry for myself here, just simply stating the facts. So, if you take time to pray for any of these folks, grab their email addresses off their cards and send them a brief note of encouragement letting them know that you prayed for them that day. I cannot tell you what an encouragement that will be to them.

Thank you for your faithfulness in prayer. You are on the front lines of battle each and every time you pray.

Blessings,
Marc
