Pray for TMS missionaries

Pray regularly.
Pray specifically.
Pray whenever your missionary "just comes to your mind" and you weren't even praying.

The missionary's own relationship to God:

That they would put aside all malice, guile, hypocrisy, envy, and slander so that like newborn babes they would long for the pure milk of the Word.
That they would pray without ceasing, praying at all times in the Spirit, ever on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints.
That they would be careful how they conduct themselves, not as unwise but as wise, redeeming the time, continually filled with God's Spirit.
That they would grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
That they would deny self daily, take up their cross and follow Jesus, submitting to Him, resisting the devil.

Pray that when they speak, God will give them the words (cp Mt 10:19, Mk 13:11, Lk 12:11, 12, Lk 21:14, 15) so that they can speak forth the mystery of the Gospel with boldness and without fear (Ep 6:19-note).
