Prayer Partners
The
work of a missionary could not be accomplished
without the faithful support of prayer partners.
We are looking for people who will lift us up to the
throne of grace on a daily basis. If you would
be willing to be a part of our support team, please
send us an e-mail at carr@ufanet.ru
You will be sent an
e-mail regularly detailing our prayer requests.

Prayer focus
- ...For a shift in Russian
evangelical leadership philosophy: to move away from the
perception that buildings are necessary for the growth of
the kingdom and more toward a biblically-based approach of
home/apartment based evangelistic bible studies that lead to
house churches.
- ...For a more
contextualized approach to theological education for church
leadership.
- ...For indigenous leadership to
arise naturally within each new evangelistic Bible study
group and church plant.
- ...Development of a culturally
relevant and culturally sensitive media strategy to focus on
B-stan.
- ...For “persons of peace”
and “gatekeepers” among the unbelieving community to
come to faith in Jesus.
- ...That doors will open for
Christian broadcast opportunities.
- ...For
God’s blessing in an area where
evangelical Christianity is neither easy to live out nor at
times welcomed.

J. Oswald Sanders' book "Prayer Power
Unlimited" provides the following about Strategic
Praying.
Pray that...
1. Spiritual revival and quickening may come to the national
churches, & especially to the key leaders
2. International affairs may be so overruled that the work of the
Gospel may not be hindered
3. Unresponsive individuals and groups may experience deep
conviction of sin & respond to the Gospel
4. The spiritual tone of missions and missionaries may be kept
high, and that their policies may be sufficiently flexible to
meet rapidly changing conditions
5. National leaders may be gripped by the vision of their churches
reproducing themselves and reaching out across cultural
boundaries into the regions beyond
6. The churches sending missionaries may increasingly rise to
their responsibilities in prayer, support, and reinforcement
7. God would thrust out new workers to maintain and extend the
work. |
