Pray for Missionaries Passage: 1 Thessalonians 2:11-20, focus verse 12
11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children,
12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.
14 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews
15 who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone
16 in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at last.
17 But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you.
18 For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan blocked our way.
19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?
20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy.

Layne Baugh has made many trips to Uganda since his first one in 2022. And now he has fellow church members on board. At the end of his first trip, a Ugandan pastor asked Layne whether he would return to teach local pastors. This Ugandan pastor related a need to get the African church back to its proper biblical foundation. The prosperity gospel has attracted churches and their pastors away from the truth. As a result of this need and the request by the Ugandan pastor, several teaching conferences have been conducted.
More than 500 men and women have been taught and strengthened in God’s Word. Additional meetings are planned with more American laypeople and pastors joining Layne in this endeavor. Is all the effort worth it? Just visualize a Ugandan pastor crying and praying, thanking God for his new Swahili Bible. You will have your answer. Pray more Ugandans would continue to desire the truth of God’s Word. Pray for missionaries as they navigate weeding out biblical untruths from churches that have been led astray.
Pray for North American Mission Board: California, Kevin Ibanez, International Mission Board: Asian Pacific Rim Peoples, HL, MM, Central Asian Peoples, JI, Northern African and Middle Eastern Peoples, MN, Sub-Saharan African Peoples, Kristy Kuglin, Global, AH, Chaplains, Volunteers, State Convention Missionaries, Retired NAMB, Sharon Moody, Retired IMB: Steve Baillio, Jo Ann Beduerfting, Audie Bennett, Carol Ghattas, John Gray, MH, Marie Johnston, Charles Roberson, Dale Thorne, Blake Western.
Thank you for your amazing, faithful missionary work. Your generosity blesses many people: Martha Caldwell, Director, WMU, and WOM Facilitator, the position is vacant.

Missions Through WMU and WOM
The mission of God is a thread woven throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. God makes it clear His desire is for all people to know Him and follow Him. The Bible helps us understand God’s mission and know how Christians are to be involved in His mission.
God issued the mandate for us to be involved in missions through the Great Commission. Our choice is how to be involved. WMU and WOM offers many opportunities for giving and hands-on service missions projects.
