Sunday Many of our personnel will have only limited opportunities for meaningful worship with other believers in their new home. Pray for deep spiritual growth in preparation for living in a spiritually dry environment.
Monday Our personnel must have sufficient prayer and financial partnerships before they transition into their cross-cultural ministries. Pray that God will grant these as they share the vision for taking His Word to the unreached.
Tuesday Obtaining visas, residency permits, and other paperwork required by their host governments can be a long and costly process. Pray that their applications will be viewed favorably and processed in a timely manner.
Wednesday Some personnel begin learning the primary language of their host country before moving there. Pray that God will enable them to gain fluency through both formal and informal learning opportunities.
Thursday Packing—deciding what to take, what to store, what to dispose of—can be very stressful. Pray for wisdom and peace.
Friday Children in families who are preparing for cross-cultural ministry seldom fully grasp the changes that are about to occur in their lives. Pray for healthy family dynamics to sustain them through each transition.
Saturday Saying good-bye to family, friends, and church is not easy. Pray for grace, comfort, and peace as our personnel prepare for long separations.
