There’s an old almanac hanging at a corner in my church titled- What happens to your missionary when you fail
to pray. It’s a list of possible occurrences
where prayer backup is lacking for the gospel bearer.
I don’t know who put it up there; but it’s been hanging
there for many years. While I treasure the prayers of friends and brethren, I
crave for more. This is one duty reserved for believers alone. May that almanac
continue to serve as a reminder to the church, of the enormous responsibility
laid before it for the missionaries that call her- Home.
Please reflect on this list as you pray for us:

your missionary when you fail to pray

He cannot have time to read/study the Bible.
He cannot plan Bible teaching.

women.
He complains and grumbles against the work.
He travels a lot without reasons.
He cannot go out for evangelism.
He has no faith.
He discourages converts from holding their
faith.
He can destroy what he builds with his hands.

gets no favor from them.
He is stingy, partial and selfish in his
spending of money.
He can give false report concerning his work.
He can easily lose focus of his vision.
The sending body may be losing all financial
report to the missionary.
The devil will influence his relationship with
his wife.
No family alter and agreement in the work with
his family.
He has poor relationship with his co-workers.
He has a high manifestation of his temper in
his activities.
He criticizes all the efforts of the people group
he serves.

and other women.

He despises the labor of his sending body.

can place his work above his family.
He can be deformed by evil forces.
He cannot be a good example.
He works much in the flesh rather than in the
Spirit.
He rebels against authority and constituted
leadership.
how many missionaries are currently wrestling alone on the field, abandoned in whole or in part by
their senders and thus exposed to the subtlety and brutality of the enemy.
As I leave for Sudan in a few days for the cause of the Kingdom, I covet your prayers. I’m
persuaded of your believe in God’s power and promise to do exceedingly,
abundantly and above all we could ever dare to do or desire.
With every mention of Sudan in the news or elsewhere, may you be reminded of our common Kingdom pursuit in that nation. Please take a few
minutes to reflect and speak to God on behalf of His people and His purposes
there.
Together, we’ll do valiantly, kneeling in prayer before our
Lord and Master Jesus Christ.
Please pray for us.

You are not forgotten!! My family will be praying for you as you go.
I got the visual of Jesus praying for you Uche, your name is on His lips! He goes before you an prepares the way and He is your rear guard.
I pray for protection for you and your family and everything that is important to you. I pray that you go in the power of His might. I pray for revelations of the Father’s heart for you and out of the overflow of that knowledge you would spread that love to each person you touch.
I will be praying.
Blessings!

“THE UNFINISHED TASK”
Especially in my time. Its not about being known world wide, but about fulfilling your purpose in the Kingdom.
May I be “Caught” praying for the missionaries world wide, especially UCHE!
Each time I hear the word “NATIONS” my spirit leaps, something is tickled on the inside of me, I can’t explain it in words.
I am inspired to pray even more.
Blessings
