We have the joy of being a praying community online and offline. Here is today’s prayer from Prayerlines, our daily, printed prayer guide.

Today’s prayer

As we prayed yesterday for CMS’s personnel leads, today please pray for our mission managers, who take the lead in developing CMS’s work in different regions, building relationships with strategic partners and supporting mission partners in their roles. Pray for God’s leading for them and for wisdom as to where to spend their time and energy each day as they juggle many demands.

Our prayers are shared daily on our Facebook feed
