PRAYER POINTS

  
 

Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:18 to pray for the saints.  Prayer is a foundational part of any outreach.  As God brings these things to your mind, please take them to Him in prayer:

  • India
    • Continued ministry opportunities for the Russells
    • Spiritual protection for the Christians in the country as they battle strongholds
  • Russia
    • Growth for the seeds of Christ's love planted in hearts during the Christmas outreach
    • Practical provision for daily ministry needs
  • Missionary Care
    • People at 121CC to be sensitive to God's call to participate in missionary care
  • Other current efforts
    • Wisdom and strength for the team at the Manchen Girls Home in Guatemala, as well as open hearts for the girls they are ministering to
    • Bryan and Leslie, who are embarking on full-time mission work overseas
    • Deborah, who recently left to serve in a closed country
    • Heather, who is currently serving for two years in a closed country
