Tis the Season

Everywhere people especially young people are headed out on mission for Jesus. For the next few weeks the world will be full of students singing, doing drama, building, playing, feeding, and so many other things to touch the lives of others all with showing the love of Jesus Christ. I want to challenge all who read this column to be in prayer for those you know who are going and those you only read about. Never before have so many gone to the mission feild as have gone in the last few years. What a reason to praise God!

As you pray remember these 10 important points:

    1   Pray for safety
    2   Pray for leadership
    3   Pray for understanding
    4   Pray for strength
    5   Pray for empowerment by the Holy Spirit
    6   Pray for God to be glorifed.
    7   Give thanks for those who have given for others to go.
    8   Give thanks for those who go.
    9   Give thanks for those who are there on field who receive the teams.
    10 Give thanks for God's calling out new missionaries.

Please be faithful to pray over this summer for teams accross the world.
