Real Missions: when ministry is dangerous

pray for my missionary friend who is 22

A friend of mine is 22. He was raised in a missionary family overseas. He’s not a stranger to eating unusual food or living in situations where luxury is a thousand miles away, but he loved it! His family was tight and they really lived out their faith.

His brothers went into ministry in the U.S. But after graduating from college, this guy chose to go to a country where Christianity isn’t welcome.

I can’t you tell you his name because he’s a missionary incognito. But I can tell you he asked me and others to pray, and this is why. . . gioco baccaratcasino tropez bonus codeslots machine gratis,giochi gratis slots machine,slots machineaprire casino onlineblack and jackvideo poker machinescasino online italianogiochi casino,casinos games,casino gamewww casino comgioco pc casinogioco crapsvideo poker freewarevincere ai casino onlinecasino poker gratisgioco baccarat gratisvideo poker pccasino italiani bonuswww casino on lineplay kenometodo roulettevideo poker gamegiochi casino onlineslots machines gratisgiocare baccaratcasino 10 euro gratisvideo poker virtualecasino on line con bonusgioco keno in lineacasino games pro,mobile casino games,casino gamescasino per pcstanze di gioco miglioritrucchi casino on line,casino on line,casino italiani on linecasino bonus senza depositovirtual gamblinggold casinoweb casinocasino on line italianodei casino onlineroulette gamesroulette da scaricare gratisgiochi on line casinocasino online in italiaregole roulettegioco video poker gratisstrategie roulettedownload video pokercasino download gratiscasino online italiacaribbean pokerinternet casino poker

He’s made a lot of friends this past year in his new country. They trust him. They know that he’s not trying to win them over because of his faith, but because he genuinely cares about them.

He started a college group that meets to hang out.

Later today (tonight for us) he is meeting with several to tell them about Jesus. A couple has flown in to help him. They paid their own way to meet in secret with them. Some of the students are very ready to hear what he has to say. They’ve been waiting. Others are unsure.

This is how my friend asked us to pray:

  1. Pray that God will open the hearts of the students.
  2. Pray for the speakers who have willingly put themselves in danger to love the students.
  3. Pray for safety, heath, and protection of every person.
  4. Pray that there will be no distractions or drama.
  5. Pray that students will sense the Holy Spirit.
  6. Pray for this person as he cares for these students after the camp.
  7. Pray for my friend…he’s tired, he’s working long hours, he’s only 22 and wants all of God’s wisdom and direction.

Will you pray with RTF and Suzie today? Please comment and I’ll send your encouragement to my friend.
