Elizabeth always prays for the missionaries and her prayers carry a tone of global emphasis. She remembers to pray for those missionaries in danger zones. She specifically lifts up Africa, Poland, Russia, and South America. God has burdened her heart for missions. My nephew? Well, he prays much more narrow--he says, "Keep the missionaries warm and fed." Having a heart for missions is an absolutely beautiful thing; especially coming from children. Thank you for reminding me to seek God's guidance on my role in missions prayer. I drive two of my nieces and one nephew to school each morning.

(General statement I know but I'm going with it anyway.) I recently changed local fellowships and outside of the CIA (Children in Action) program there is no concerted effort to lift those serving our Savior in prayer. Maybe Spurgeon had a point when he said there were more proponent's of prayer than those who actually practice. I also read where every prayer warrior should complete the prayer with an intentional witness and every intentional witness should be preceded in prayer, that the two are really one. I think my "New Year's Resolution" will be to address those in leadership at my local fellowship and ask that we begin (as a Body) to seriously pray for our missionaries. In regards to who missionaries who I pray for, I like this one. http://www.toeverytribe.com/ And Brother Tim, I trust today's post will not give you too much cause for alarm :) Wow, what other blog can you visit where you can go from Miller to missions?
