As we approach our National Day of Prayer (THU, May 4), today’s podcast guest also reminds us to pray for missionaries around the world. Dr. Jessie Ritchie, a missionary kid and past missionary herself, shares 10 practical ways we can lift up missionaries in prayer.

Most of us haven’t lived in another country, another culture. We often have little understanding of the challenges missionaries face. What are they feeling? What are the conditions of their environment? How are they staying connected with other believers?

Today’s discussion opens that window for us with candid conversation from Dr. Ritchie and Steve Harling, as they both share experiences and difficulties from years as missionaries.

This episode is a good reminder for all who support missionaries that prayer is such a critical part of supporting them. The insights shared by Dr. Ritchie give us guidelines for praying well. You’ll find the free download of 10 ways to pray for your missionaries to be a great resource to equip you to pray for your missionaries! So listen and enjoy this episode now!
