Some new missionaries will begin training this month to arrive on the mission field later in the year. Please pray for their family, preparations, logistics, and ability to learn all that is needed. And intercede also for local believers in the place where they are going to be set apart by the Holy Spirit, affirmed by the church, and sent out in the authority of Jesus to do God’s work in that vast region. “While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.’ Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off” (Acts 13:2-3 ESV).
