Today’s prayer

New paths are opening up for mission partners I and S in South East Asia: I is now teaching English alongside leading a church, while S is now director of an English language centre. Pray for I and S’s skills in the local language to improve, for good links to be established between the language centre and church, and for relationship building that leads to discipleship.

Our prayers are shared daily on our Facebook feed
