How To Pray For Your Missionary Family
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

Sunday — Their walk with God
“Apart from me you can do nothing.” — John 15:5
Pray they stay close to Jesus, not just busy for Jesus. Fresh hunger for Scripture. A protected prayer life. Anointing on the work. Victory over dryness and serving in their own strength.
Father, keep this family abiding in Christ today. Let their first work be to stay close to You.
