prayer group

STUDENT MISSIONS: Pray for all nine E-TEAMs as they leave Nashville today, June 12, for Jaboticabal, Brazil; Limeira, Brazil; Central Asia; Chicago, Illinois; Cuba; France; Hokkaido, Japan; Panama; and Uruguay. Pray for safe flights and good connections. Ask God to give the 18 team leaders and 81 students good rest on long flights, a sense of mission and unity, flexibility, and an attitude of service.

THE HANNA PROJECT: A team in Central Asia divided into two groups. One is providing a medical clinic, dispensing glasses, and offering dental services. The construction team is renovating an orphanage. Ask God to use their service to draw people to Him.

JAPAN: Nathan and Linda Snow and five of their children departed from the States yesterday, June 11, for Japan. Pray for the two children left stateside: Daniel (to continue college) and Megan (participating in E-TEAM). Ask God to be with the Snows as they seek His guidance for a place to live and begin a new ministry.

BRAZIL: Continue to lift the Marincek congregation in prayer. The transition from missionary-led to Brazilian pastor is difficult. Other issues led some members to leave. Ask God to move mightily in the lives of believers, encouraging them, strengthening their faith, and increasing their witness in the community.

SPAIN: Praise God for the three people (including MK Alejandro Johnson) from the Alpedrete Church who were baptized this past Sunday, June 9. Pray for continued spiritual growth and a desire to see others come to know Christ.

GLOBALLY: Ask God to give Molly Barker (Uruguay) strength and grace as she recovers from her knee replacement surgery and deals with therapy. Pray for the effectiveness of a new cancer treatment for Geneva Poole (Brazil) as she receives two shots this Friday, June 14. Pray for relief from pain for Mirial Gainer (Japan). Lift Norman and Bessie Richards (retired, Côte d’Ivoire) to the Father as they battle cancer. Ask God to strength and rest for Lynette Morgan (former missionary to Côte d'Ivoire and France). Ask God to meet the health needs of all our missionaries (active and retired), giving grace as they endure, healing when it is His will, a strong witness to medical personnel, and the determination to persevere.

STATESIDE: Pray for all those traveling and representing the Mission at various state meetings and events. Praise God for the safety of travel He has given and ask Him to continue to protect and provide.

WMO: Praise God for the $579,932 in WMO (World Missions Offering) money that has been received in the office as of Tuesday, June 11. Ask God to provide much more. If monies are still sitting in accounts waiting to be dispersed, pray they will be released soon. If offerings haven’t been taken yet, pray for an overwhelming response in those churches. Pray for wisdom for IM leadership.
