Theme: Striving in Prayer with our Missionaries

“Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me." (Romans 15:30, NASB 1995) 

An Excellent Ministry Opportunity

LMPG is a ministry opportunity for the women of  Mount Calvary Baptist Church to band together in praying for our missionaries as part of fulfilling our mission as a church to take the Word to the world, to make true disciples of Jesus Christ. 

To increase our understanding of and burden for missionary work, special speakers are invited to share their unique experiences and struggles. After hearing from the speaker, we divide to pray for our missionaries (young girls have their own prayer times). We then meet for refreshments and fellowship. Each month an offering is taken, and missionary biographies are available to borrow from our library. Periodically, we work on special projects that will directly benefit our missionaries. All the ladies of Mount Calvary Baptist Church are invited to attend—you do not have to be a church member. Meetings are held in the music suite once a month. Nursery facilities are available. 

Understandably, not all ladies in our church are able to participate in LMPG; however, we can all challenge ourselves to greater faithfulness in staying informed about our missionaries and remembering them in prayer on a regular basis. 

As we meet together to hear from our missionaries and learn how to better pray for them, may we have an increased burden for their ministries that would press us to our knees in prayer on their behalf.
