Pray for your missionaries.......

So many times I feel so blessed. The situations that are new to us here in Mexico have been easier because so many of our co-staffers had experienced it before us. Doctors, working visas, surgery, dental work, car work done, join soccer teams, etc. etc. All these things we had help with. I often think of those missionaries who are on their own. Those that experience firsts with no ones help. Who don't have a group to debrief tough times. Who struggle with a new language, new culture, burdens of a ministry, or plain tough times. As I reflect on our year here, we count our blessings, but we also take note of the many difficult times we have had. We know that God has brought us through them with many of your prayers. We covet your prayers. Missionaries get down and depressed too. Please continue to pray for us in 2008.
Pray for our continued focus to be on the Lord.
Pray for the low times that God would see us through
Pray that we would be obedient no matter what He asks from us.
Pray for our children that they would have more friends.
Pray for our language skills to grow leaps and bounds as we see our ministry in relationships.
Pray for patience as we trust God in big ways.
Thank you for your prayers. If you know other missionaries who are on their own, pray for them. Then contact them so they know you have not forgotten them. That you have their back in prayer. What a ministry you can have that way.
