Prayer Recommendations
Prayer is the number one weapon that we can use to support our missonary brethren. The book Serving as Senders lists a number of recommendations for us to take to the alter which I summarize below:
- Adjustment to new culture, language food
- Protection in travel, health, accidents, dangerous situations
- Concern for children's health, education, friendships, housing, lack of privacy, differences in living standards
- Loneliness, homesickness, lack of accustomed fellowship with others
- Interpersonal relationships, dealing with one's own (and others') prejudice, selfishness, depending on the faithfulness of others to meeting fiscal obligations.
- Effectiveness in ministry, whatever the assignment
- Functioning of the tools of ministry
- Lack of visible results.
- People being ministered to, local Christian and governmental leaders
- Need for stability, wisdom, compassion, self-discipline boldness, power, love, to be filled with the Spirit of God.
