Though they’re not included in the main blog lists and aggregator, I like to write once in a while about short termers, missionaries that travel frequently in and out of other cultures, and blogs that simply don’t fit in any other category.  That’s our theme today!

Pray for missionaries?

Do you like to browse missionary blogs just so that you can take time to pray?  Let me save you some time – here are some missionaries who are asking for prayer for various things.  Let’s take a quick tour and pray for these things – maybe there’s even a way you can be a part of the answer!

  • From HondurasJust a note for prayer. The well drilling is not going well…
  • There are a few prayer requests here, but just listen to what’s happening in Nepal!  Now, under a new government, Nepal is opening up for Christian radio via local stations (more accessible and convenient than shortwave)…
  • Moving to Guinea!  But there’s so much to do before then.  Thanks very much for your prayers, continue to pray for us as we go through all these preparations.  We can’t wait to be done with them.  They seem never ending!
  • Terrible tragedy in Bangladesh.  Five of our projects seriously affected due to cyclone Aila.  We are providing dry food, Water purifying tablets, and ORS….  There’s a family to pray for here.
  • Helping AIDS orphans in UkraineGod has a marvelous [sic] way of pulling together just the right people at just the right time…
  • A missionary that won’t be returning to Nigeria.  I was able to surrender last week and every minute since… I am in the midst of intense grieving… a death has happened… and yet, He promises strength and peace, which I receive and praise Him for…  Please pray for Erin.
  • This from GreecePlease continue to pray for our ministry, our refugee friends, and the Greek government.  Why?  Read (and watch the video) Misery Meets Greece’s Migrants
  • Does God really care about copy machines?  Of course!  I ask that you pray that God will make His plan clear for us. (And yes, really, I DO think God cares about our copy machine issues.) (Ukraine)

Medical ministry

16 April 2007

There are many Christians out there who are helping with physical healing in another culture.  What a great way to show the compassion of Jesus!  Some of these people have medical training, some don’t.
But today I wanted to highlight doctors and nurses who are serving full time in another culture.  I probably missed some obvious [...]

Tragedy in Nigeria

9 June 2006

Missionaries are often writing about tragedy, since the lifestyle they’ve chosen takes them out into the middle of it.  This tragedy has struck especially close to the heart.  Missionaries in Nigeria, Ken and Linda, lost their son Justin on New Years Eve.  It was so sudden.  It wasn’t that these people were in some dangerous [...]
