  • Apr 6 - Missionaries reach out to us often for support. Pray for wisdom and compassion to help them see God, find purpose in pain, and make wise decisions.
  • Apr 13 - Despite my FSH Muscular Dystrophy, we continue serving missionaries worldwide. Pray we navigate pain and limitations with faith, purpose, and an eternal perspective.

SEEKING GREATER DEPENDENCE ON GOD

PERSONAL REFLECTION “Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day” (Psalm 25:4-5).

  • Show me! Teach me! Lead me! The cries of a desperate heart reach the ears of God!
  • The soul of the one who waits patiently — all day — touches the heart of God!
  • How desperate are you to know the way of God; His paths; and His truth?
  • How long are you willing to wait patiently on the Lord?

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.
