At last year’s gathering of the Former Missionaries Association (FMA), it was pointed out to the Prayer Guide Editor that once upon a time, the Guide featured a section of prayers for former missionaries. A year later, almost to the day, these prayers are a response to that feedback – and a reminder that one never ceases to be a missionary for Jesus, no matter where God has you.
SUNDAY 7
Every person who has served for BMS World Mission in a mission capacity is eligible for membership of the FMA. Please pray that this message reaches those people so that the fellowship can continue to thrive.
MONDAY 8
Linda King serves sacrificially in her role as FMA Secretary, one of a number of her commitments to BMS and to Baptist life in the UK. Please lift Linda up in prayer as she navigates all these commitments.
TUESDAY 9
The FMA Reunion begins today at the King’s Park Conference Centre in Moulton, Northamptonshire. Please pray that all attendees arrive safely and that the next three days are a time of deep connection and communion.
WEDNESDAY 10
Ruth Montacute (D R Congo, 1972-1992) devotes so much time to maintaining pastoral contact with former missionaries. Pray for Ruth, and for her incredible energy levels to continue.
THURSDAY 11
Rev Lisa Kerry from the Central Baptist Association joins the reunion today to lead a service of Communion. Pray this will be a time of great blessing.
FRIDAY 12
Lift up the mission workers who came to the end of their service with BMS in the last year. God, you know your calling for the next chapters in their lives; may they know it too.
SATURDAY 13
There are many more members of the FMA who don’t make the reunion than who do. Lord, you know them all by name, and we pray for them safe in that knowledge.
