Praying for Encouragement

Idea

"We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more" 1 Thessalonians 1:3

How

Here’s a snippet of a prayer time that happened in Ireland recently:

“So ….today we met at 11am. Coffee on arrival and an opportunity to see some video clips.

Then we separated to go where ever we felt comfortable to pray privately.

The Billions magazine was available, as was the Thai Tempo, the latest prayer letter from the OMF workers, Bibles, post-its and pens.

We suggested that we could write a word of encouragement or prayer for our workers, whatever we felt God was saying.

The post-its were then placed on the map of Thailand.

They have since been posted to Thailand …hopefully our workers there will be encouraged.”
