PLEASE PRAY FOR THE MISSIONS TEAMS

On Day 8 of the Children's Cup "40 Days of Praying with the Children", would you please pray for the short-term folks who minister to the children and give support and encouragement to the long-term missionaries and national ministers? Here's the prayer and request from CC:

Visiting teams of folks from America have given a big chunk of their lives to spend time in another land, loving on little kids in ragged shirts and bare feet with runny noses and skinny arms. They paint buildings, read stories, draw pictures, play ball, and pass out treasured stickers. And long after the hugs are over, the memory of a certain child remains in their hearts.

“And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? That’s why Scripture exclaims, A sight to take your breath away! Grand processions of people telling all the good things of God! But not everybody is ready for this, ready to see and hear and act. Isaiah asked what we all ask at one time or another: ‘Does anyone care, God? Is anyone listening and believing a word of it?’ The point is, Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ’s Word is preached, there’s nothing to listen to.” - Romans 10:15-17 (MSG)
