Prayers for missionaries & ministries

It is mid-year, a good time to take a look at the missionaries and ministries First Presbyterian Church supports and pray for them in a special way. We invite you to set aside some time to do so today and over the next weeks. You can also look back on past blog posts to learn more about these brothers and sisters in Christ and their work.

What to pray for:

That God will straighten their paths and remove obstacles to their work, and

That our missionaries and supported ministries will:

·         have opportunities to show and speak what God’s love looks and feels like

·         have all they need – spiritually, physically, and emotionally – to accomplish their mission

·         see how God is at work around and through them and to appreciate how much their ministry matters
