Jesus, we servants of your ministry, ask you to help us respect the ISI leaders you have anointed among us—who labor at our sides, teach us to magnify your name, and carefully disciple us. Help us honor, respect, and love them greatly because of their work. God Almighty, we pray that our whole ministry would be known as yours by the love we have for one another and the peace that is among us. (1/2)

Pray that as we go through uncertain times—both personally and collectively—we would trust in God’s goodness, sovereignty, provision, and, perhaps even more, His love and acceptance for us. Like the Psalmists, who expressed their honest struggles and “why” questions to God with raw vulnerability, may we also learn to turn our hearts toward remembering who He is, recalling His past faithfulness, and, as they often did later in their prose, living in joy under the Father’s care.

Pray as we work through several opportunities to hire international staff. Pray for God's provision in special ways. Pray as we navigate through this legally and other ways.
