PRAY for MISSIONARIES & THEIR CHILDREN
from: OSCAR (http://www.oscar.org.uk), UK information service for world mission
It is obvious but often overlooked. Missions and missionaries depend on prayer support.
When you pray for those in mission work, do you struggle with what to pray? Maybe you have so many things to pray for that it is difficult to focus on the real issues. We don't just need to pray longer and harder, we need to pray smarter. Several valuable resources highlight prayer topics for missionaries and their families. There is even one about how to pray for missionaries' children! Several of these resources are available in print form and on-line.
