How to Pray for Missionaries

Anointing. Pray that our missionaries will experience a continued fresh Outpouring on the Holy Spirit's anointing upon their lives and ministries.

Encouragement. Discouragement can easily set in amid heavy workloads and adjustments to cultures. Pray God will strengthen our missionaries spiritually.

Evangelism. Reaching people for Christ is the heartbeat of missions. Pray that the Spirit of God will move mightily in crusades and open hearts in personal evangelism.

Family. Missionary life requires commitment and sacrifice from every member of a missionary's family. Pray that God will strengthen family members and draw them closer to each other in the Lord.

Health. Many missionaries battle physical illness. Pray for their healing and sustained strength for the task.

Projects. Numerous projects are under way on the mission field - church planting, Bible schools, day cares, Christian schools, renovations, etc. Pray that materials, workers, and finances will be provided to complete these projects.

Protection. Spiritual warfare is real. Missionaries often come under Satan's attack. Pray that God will shield them from harm and give them victory in overcoming spiritual darkness.

Provision. Needs in some countries are especially great. Cost of food, utilities and other supplies can be staggering. Pray that God will provide for day-to-day needs.
