"I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ...to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me." Romans 15:30.
To be a missionary in today's world-One has to separate himself from the I-want-it-now culture we live in. Results on the mission field can be slow going!So it's not uncommon for missionaries to retire having seen but a handful of conversions during their entire career. This fact is enough to discourage many people-- from ever becoming full-time missionaries. But for those who have heard their Divine calling to missions-- nothing—not even the lack of apparent progress - or the constant persecution—can keep them from fulfilling their task. One reason they are able to push on is that-- they have Christian brothers and sisters faithfully supporting them through prayer. Fellow believers!We should never underestimate the power of our words offered up to God-- on behalf of the brave souls on the mission field. God hears those words and grants His workers the ability-- to remain encouraged and faithful to the cause. Prayer for our missionaries is tantamount to the work itself! American missionary Samuel Zwemer once said:"The history of missions is the history of answered prayer."
Remember us in your prayers-- that we grow not weary in well doing!
