Help hold up the arms of those on the front lines

The prayer focus for today (day 19) is for our missionaries and those ministries on the "front lines" of spreading the gospel to the furthest reaches of our world. Here's a brief list, pray for:

• safety, generous provision to the missionaries and humanitarian workers in Haiti.
• our missionaries serving everywhere from US university campuses to Belgium, Central Asia, Japan, and beyond.
• other missionaries that come to mind and those that you are familiar with.
• the work of these missionaries, for fruitful ministry, protection, and great impact in make disciples of all nations,
• financial provision for missionaries, especially since the economy is rough and many people are pulling back in their support,
• renewed strength since ministry can be very tiring and spiritually exhausting, and that they would not "grow weary in doing well".

A great passage to read and use as a guide when praying for our missionaries and church leaders on the front lines of the Kingdom: Exodus 18:8-15 especially,

"When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword."
