When done well, Member Care contributes to overall missionary success. A lack of good member care can have detrimental effects on missionaries and their ministries. Pray for a strengthening of relationships between the Member Care team and Team Expansion workers around the world.
Another incredible thing we saw God do in Laos was the increase in training from 8 National Missionaries to 50. God grew the 3 original teams of National Missionaries to 15 teams!
Many people in Bosnia observe religious holidays, but do not know Christ as personal Savior and Lord of their lives. Their religion is made up of superstitions and traditions, fueled by the ideas of man. Ask God to apply the prophetic words of Isaiah 9:2 and Matthew 4:16 to the people of Bosnia. “The people who walk in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.”
Someone in the T family has been seriously coughing for nearly two months. E is the current victim and is not able to sleep well at night and is really having a rough time during the day. After consultation with doctors, J and E are confident it’s not COVID-19; but still, E’s in a self-imposed quarantine. The country in which they serve is not in a great position to deal with that type of virus, but at least one person from a ship that was allowed to dock there has the virus. There are still many people from that ship here in the area. Please pray for that too!
