Missionaries

This Wednesday, as we fast, let's pray for the missionaries that are out serving in other countries. Personally, I've always really admired the missionary calling. Probably partly because it seems nearly impossible to me to just pick up the whole family, move to a strange place, rely on others for living expenses, and jump in whole heartedly to witnessing to others. A few months back, while visiting a VA for work purposes, I met a doctor who works as a missionary in Central America. He comes back to the states to work for a few weeks every 6 months to both help fund his mission work and to make sure he keeps his ability to practice medicine. The rest of the time he spends in Central America planting churches with his family. Another mission couple was in to visit our church a couple weeks back. They work in Katmandu. They had very interesting stories to tell about their 10+ years in that area.

Just pray for all missionaries this Wednesday. And pray for their children as well. May God do a work in them as well as those they are trying to reach.

Have a great week and a great fast.
Your brother,
Bob
