Between language barriers and cultural differences, building deep friendships on the mission field can be a challenge. Please pray for God to provide Christian fellowship for missionaries who feel lonely.
Pray that missionaries will abide in the true vine, Jesus Christ, and rely on His power to produce much fruit. Ask that they will trust in Him to prune what needs to be pruned to bear even more good fruit in their lives. (John 15).
In Central and South America, churches and missionaries are eager to receive volunteers from churches in the United States. Pray for more of these partnerships that open doors for sharing the gospel and engaging Southern Baptist churches deeper in missions.
“Work responsibilities, visa applications, and raising a family overseas can bring a load of stress. Please pray that we will rely on the Lord and trust that He is working. Pray for favor with visas, and ask God for open doors to gospel witness.” Elisabeth Edwards, Central Asian Peoples.
