GETTING BEYOND
"GOD BLESS THE MISSIONARIES"

Pray Regularly. Pray Specifically.
Pray whenever your missionary "just comes to your mind" and you weren't even praying.

  • That they would pray without ceasing, praying at  all times in the Spirit, ever on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints
  • That they would be careful how they conduct themselves, not as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time, continually filled with God's Spirit
  • That they would grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
  • That they would deny self daily, take up their cross and follow Jesus, submitting to Him, resisting the devil.
