Call unto me and I will answer you…

Jeremiah 33:1-11

Prayer Points

Lord, I call unto you today:

…because you have promised to hear and to answer my prayers (v. 3),
…because you have spiritual wisdom to share that is too wonderful and mysterious for me to understand on my own (v. 3),
…because I recognize my spiritual poverty and complicity in the sin and wickedness of this world (v. 5),
…because I believe you can forgive my sin and restore peace and security to my heart (vs. 6-8),
…because I desire to be instrumental in your salvation of our neighbors and to be the joyful recipient of your abundance and peace (v. 9),
…and because I want to add my generous offering of thanks to those who worship you forever (vs. 10-11).

Each year in September, Mississippi Baptists focus on praying for the Margaret Lackey State Mission Offering. However, the MLSMO has now become a year-round mission endeavor that is helping Mississippians learn about missions, pray for missions, give to missions, and participate in missions.

In 2010, Mississippi Baptists gave $1,962,981.95. This offering was used to fund ministries such as Garaywa Camp and Conference Center, Central Hills, disaster relief, literacy, criminal justice ministries, Christian Women’s Job Corps, church planting, seaman’s ministry, collegiate ministry, associational mission projects, and volunteer missionary assistance. Much of the success belongs to mission-minded individuals who prayed, promoted, gave and encouraged others to give.

The theme for 2011 is “Undiscovered” based on Jeremiah 33:3.
