AS you may know Thursday, May 1, 2008 is the National Day of Prayer. It’s a time for us to unite with those around the country in repentance, petition, thanksgiving and adoration of our God.
One thing that you might consider praying for is Colonel Robert and Marguerite Ward – our former Central Territory Program Secretaries. Just last year they were abruptly transferred to Pakistan as Territorial Commanders. Pray for them and their leadership this Thursday, and add to that list the number of other Central Territory Missionaries. If you follow the link, you’ll be able to click on each missionary’s picture for information about their Stateside involvement and overseas appointment.
You should also read through the Central Territory’s Newsletter, Perspectives. It includes articles by Chris Shay and Sarah Kincaid, as well as updates on the Colonel’s Ward, Major’s (now Lt. Colonels!) Brad and Heidi Bailey, Captains Phil and Sheila Davisson, Captains R.C. and Miranda Duskin, Captains Sergey and Tanya Katchanov, and more.
All in all, their goal, as well as our own, is to share the Good News of Jesus with anyone we can. Pray for God to make you aware of your own opportunities as you pray for those of the missionaries.
