Gifts of LastingValue
PRAY (Continued) Pray for the health o f mission aries. Pray that they may know what it is to “ renew the i r strength, to run and not be weary, to walk and not faint.” Do not forget to pray for their children. Pray for national Christians, for indigenous churches, and for their leaders. Pray for the governments un der which missionaries work. Be on the alert for news items per taining to mission fields and pray about these things. Pray for the various mission boards, m i s s i ona r y executives, and such problems as the need for workers, the threat of Com munism, and the inroads of false cults. H e l p i n P r a y in g Read missionary publications and letters from missionaries. Spread your mail before the Lord. Letters from missionaries will keep you informed and help you to pray intelligently for them. Keep them informed, too, of the activities at home and of the Lord’s dealings with you. Make your letters a source of spiritual blessing that will bring joy and encouragement to them. Such a program of prayer will be costly in time and energy. We will have to make time for this ministry, but the rewards will far outweigh all costs. We ourselves will come to know God in a new way, and only so can we “bear one another’s bur dens and so fulfill the law of Christ.” BQ] —Parle Street Spire CHRISTMAS OBJECT LESSON T he L ord J esus C hrist was God’s greatest and best gift, and is the most wonderful Gift that this world has ever known.
