A Missionary explorer writes: “As I prepare for an upcoming trip, I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside local believers faithfully ministering in the region. One of the greatest blessings of this work is learning from brothers and sisters who know the language, culture, and people far better than I do. Together, we hope to learn more about communities with little gospel access and build relationships to help guide future ministry efforts. This trip will involve meeting new people, listening to their stories, and seeking opportunities to share the hope of Christ. My desire is not only to gather information but also to encourage local believers and see how God is already at work among the people we meet. I’m trusting the Lord to provide wisdom, favor, and meaningful conversations throughout the journey. Please pray for safe travels as I journey to the area. Pray for strong, Christ-centered partnership with my local partner, who is already a Baptist pastor serving in this region. Ask the Lord to open doors for meaningful gospel conversations in the villages. Finally, pray that I will gather helpful information and relationships for future ministry work in the area.”
