Missionaries' Prayer Requests

The Nations
- June 1 - Pray for the 49 April graduates of the STN Latin America training in Santa Cruz and La Paz, Bolivia. One church is being planted in "Pando" in northern Bolivia. Three churches are being planted near "Chua Cocani" and "Copacabana," where the Inca religion is dominant―dark and dangerous areas for the Gospel.

JUNE PRAYER FOCUS
— WALKING AS JESUS WALKED
PERSONAL REFLECTION: “Train yourself in godliness, for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come” (1 Timothy 4:7b-8).
- “He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct” (1 Peter 1:15) — how are you doing?
- Praise Him that He desires that we not wallow in sin but that we can be made clean.
- Have you taken an inventory recently? Is your conduct reflective of His Holiness?
- Are your words and thoughts continually cleansed by the Holy Spirit so that others see Jesus?
Disciple-making movements at the speed of Jesus!
Hear how Jesus is moving quickly (and not so quickly!), but always in His perfect timing.
Pray with us this week:
- Ask God to heal the many VJF members struggling with pain, cancer, the side effects of chemotherapy, and other physical and mental health issues.
- Pray for our pastors as they share the Word. Ask God’s Spirit to move within them, giving them boldness and clarity as they speak. Ultimately, pray that God is glorified through them.
- Pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu, for God to give him wisdom. Pray for Israeli soldiers as they rightly defend their country. Pray for all those who lost loved ones and those who are still hostages in Gaza. Pray for Israelis to come before the Almighty God and cling to Him to find peace amid turmoil in Jesus the Messiah.
- Pray for Ukrainian families suffering from the trauma of losing their homes and loved ones, and the many missionaries who are tending to both their spiritual and physical needs each day.
- For our missionaries, pray for their strength and perseverance to run the race; that the Lord will bring people across their path who would encourage and uplift them.
- Pray for God’s provision over their family and ministry; for His protection against illness, injury, and danger.
- Pray that the joy of the Lord will sustain our missionaries in every trial and setback; that the light of God would shine through them, lifting darkness and oppression as they share His love.
- Ask the Lord to make fertile ground and prepare hearts to receive the gospel; that He set up divine appointments and open doors for ministry that only He can make possible.
