Jesus gives us three ways to impact His Kingdom: praying, sending, and going.
Pray
The country
- That the role of education is recognized and that government officials decide to invest in future generations.
- The impact of HIV/AIDS. Pray for the treatment of the afflicted, that sexual morality be restored, and that genuine Christian love can be demonstrated in practical and gracious ways.
- That the church will be full of quality Christian leaders who focus on terminating nominalism and building up the youth of Swaziland.
The people
- That they may know the fullest extent of God’s grace.
- That their most basic needs are met.
- For courage to fight through poverty and become productive citizens.
African Leadership Partners
- That projects are spirit-led and are done according to God’s will.
- That the current crop of laborers feel encouraged.
- That a new crop of missionaries will rise up across the world who desire to be obedient to God’s calling.
- For generous givers to help support our fellow missionaries.
Tommy and Mandi
- For improved communication skills (verbal and non-verbal).
- For our marriage, that it may be strengthened during this stressful season of preparation.
- That our minds will be renewed every day and that we may seek creative solutions to challenging problems.
- That our individual relationships with Christ grow and flourish.
Mandy and Tommy - you inspire our family to be thoughtful of others and reach out to share our beliefs and love with those around us. We are so proud to have you in our lives and look forward to reading about your adventures. We miss you - any chance of you coming to SLO before you leave? Love to you both, The Attalas
