Rejoice in the new workers God has led to serve among the least-reached* through Christar. Pray for each one who is participating in New Personnel Orientation (NPO) and Pre-Departure Orientation (PDO), asking that they will be encouraged and equipped as they prepare for mid or long-term ministry.

Ask God to give health, wisdom and flexibility to our TCK (third-culture kid) coordinator, Alycia, and her team as they serve new workers’ children during NPO and PDO. Pray for grace in managing the unexpected challenges that often arise.

Lift up the Christar U.S. Board of Trustees as they prepare to meet June 26-28. Ask the Lord to give them wisdom and grace amid pending board transitions and the nomination of new board candidates.

Ask God to provide enough volunteers for the children’s program at the July RENEW, a
debriefing retreat for workers on home assignment. Lift up the staff as they adjust plans to hold this event at a new off-site location.

Lift up new workers who are eager to leave for their first term of ministry but first need visas or additional prayer and financial support. Ask the Lord to provide so they can begin ministry on the field.

Pray that our new annual report and Transformation Update, to be released in June, will
encourage those who partner in the work of Christar in their ministries of praying, giving,
sending and serving.

Pray for grace and skill for all staff navigating our new finance and HR systems. Pray they will gain confidence in using these tools and find new rhythms that enable them to serve effectively.
