In South America, the school year often run from March to December. Pray for missionary kids across the Americas to have successful academic journeys, grow deeper faith, and develop healthy relationships this year.
In Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil, Baptist seminaries strive to train new generations of missionaries and pastors. Pray for these young men and women to learn and apply key fundamentals. Pray for seminary professors to be examples of Christ and to teach faithfully.
Some small people groups can be hard to find and visit. Deep jungles, raging rivers, vast deserts, and soaring mountains stand between missionaries and the hopeless who need a Savior. Pray for missionaries to overcome geographical barriers to reaching the lost in the Americas.
Language learning is critical to sharing the gospel locally. Equally important is cultural knowledge. Pray for those mentoring new missionaries in language and cultural acquisition. Pray also for those acclimating to mission life as this can be a stressful time.
