2016-05-02: Workers in Transition.
Pray for workers in the transition of coming off the field. A servant penned these words: “To be sure, Southeast Asia has become home for me. I already miss the people and the country as I think about moving to the US. And, I’m afraid that this feeling may be very difficult for people back home in US to relate to. The man returning is not the same one who left 15 years ago. I don’t expect people to fully understand this, and it is difficult to explain. But this transition is not as simple as coming home from a 2 week mission trip that went awry. There is mourning and grieving associated with leaving a place with which you are so connected and for whom you have poured out so much blood, sweat, and tears.” Ask God to comfort as only He can, and ask God to lead those next steps.
2016-05-01: Pray for Workers Who Are Support-raising.
“The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.” Genesis 12:1. Many of our workers believe that God has called them in a similar way, to leave home country and family and go to another land, where He is leading to make disciples. Pray for workers in support raising mode and language acquisition to have all their needs supplied.
