• Mississippi is very blessed to have missionaries serving all over the world. We are honored to support them not only with our mission offerings, but through our commitment to pray. We are particularly focused on the Central Asian peoples, who remain one of the world’s least evangelized peoples. It is also an area of the world where Islam has resurged among these peoples in recent years.

  Please remember these requests as you pray:

  • The beauty of the Lord our God will be upon us and He will establish the work of our hands for us.
  • God’s word will be a fire within us that we cannot put out.
  • The Lord will give us daily opportunities to share the Good News.
  • Strongholds of unbelief, pride, immorality…will be broken in this place.
  • Ask that the Word will not be snatched from the hearts of people but that it will take root in their heart and bring forth fruit.
