Lift up all those participating in pre-field trainings the first two weeks of June, asking God to give them endurance and to use these programs to equip them for effective ministry.
Pray for the safety of participants and teachers traveling to and from Dallas.
Lift up our TCK (third-culture kid) coordinator as she adapts to holding children’s programs in a new setting during summer trainings. Pray that through this ministry, the children of workers heading overseas will be equipped with tools that help them navigate the challenges of living cross-culturally.
Praise God for the donors who are providing meals for participants in pre-field trainings, giving them much-needed fuel during two full weeks of sessions.
Pray for insight and discernment for the Christar U.S. Board as they meet on June 12.
Ask the Lord to guide the Executive Team as they consider properties in the Dallas area that could help Christar U.S. expand its impact among the least-reached in the area while continuing to serve workers ministering around the world.
Thank God for giving creativity and guidance to the Communications team as they worked on the new annual report and on “Structure, Strategy, Support,” which explains Christar’s role in the Great Commission and the ways individual believers and churches can be involved. Praise the Lord that both were released May 1, and ask that those who read them will be encouraged as they see how they play vital roles in establishing churches among the least-reached.
Praise God for the 23 people taking part in short-term trips this month! Pray that their love for the Lord and the least-reached will grow as a result of their time overseas, and that God would give each one discernment about next steps in ministry. And ask the Lord to lead some of them to serve long term with Christar!
