Pray that our work would reflect the Author of salvation — always pointing to Jesus, always rejoicing with the truth, and always sharing the Good News.
Pray for our endurance and encouragement — that our creativity and motivation will be rooted in our love for the Lord and His work.

Thanksgiving
The Bible repeatedly encourages believers to give thanks in all circumstances. Expressing gratitude helps us maintain a proper perspective on our lives by recognizing God’s role in everything. Giving thanks to the Lord is important because it acknowledges God as the source of all good things, and reminds us to focus on the blessings in our lives rather than our difficulties; it also glorifies God and demonstrates our appreciation for His provision and love.
November 30
Week of Prayer for International Missions and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering is important because it supports Southern Baptist missionaries in sharing the gospel with people around the world. 100% of the gifts go directly to support missionaries, including salaries, housing, medical care, transportation, and children’s education. The offering was started in 1888 after Lottie Moon, a Southern Baptist missionary to China, urged churches to send more workers to the country. Moon wrote letters home to American churches describing the need for more missionaries and greater financial support. The offering was officially named in 1918, six years after Moon’s death. Pray for Southern Baptist missionaries.
Pray that the blessing of the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering will always be utilized for the glory of God. Pray that the local church will understand and rejoice in the significance of the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for sustaining our missionaries on the field.
*Upcoming prayer guides will be released throughout the year.
