How You Can Pray for Us

No Christian worker can "go it alone." When missionaries follow God's call to serve at home or abroad, they need to know that behind them are people constantly holding them up in prayer. Colossians 1:9-12 contains several ways you can pray for us, other Christians, missionaries and pastors. Please pray Paul's prayer in Colossians 1 for us and others!

Please use the downloadable prayer guides below as you pray for us, Austin and Caris and for the teenagers that we work with. 

Please use this as a guide to pray for us through the week…

Sunday - Spiritual Life: Time in God’s Word and prayer; For spiritual growth, encouragement and fellowship. Pray for integrity, reliability and consistency.

Monday - Personal Life: Our marriage and time with Austin & Caris, while in the midst of teaching. Health, strength, creativity and energy. We’re still finding ourselves adapting to the food and altitude, with the occasional “tummy bugs”. Physical and spiritual protection. The traffic is pretty crazy, so please pray for our safety and protection.

Tuesday - Communication: Pray for us as we teach and communicate God's Word each day to the students. Pray too as we continue in our "informal" language study and adaptation to the culture, customs and people.

Wednesday - Relationships: We are involved in a “Life Group”; a group of several other SIM missionaries that meets once a month for prayer, fellowship, encouragement and a short devotional. Pray for our relationships with our neighbors and with our relationships with the students at CCS. Pray for our family relationships too. 

Thursday - Evangelism: Pray for our taxi driver “Don” (Mr.) Edwin. He takes Tami to and from school, with various other trips here and there throughout the week. We’ve had many interesting conversations with him, and he’s always ready to listen to the Bible verses we’ve learned in Spanish. Pray for the kids that come to our Kids Club, that they would come to know and love Jesus as their Savior. Pray also as we share the gospel with students at CCS.

Friday - Discipleship: As we take opportunites to read the Bible with Austin and Caris and model Jesus to them each day. As we teach and be with the students of CCS each day. Please pray for more opportunities to share our lives with them, and to make the most of every opportunity to point them to Jesus and His Word.

Saturday - The country of Bolivia: Pray for the stability of the government and the people. Pray for wisdom for President Morales and the government officials. Here is a link for updated news from Bolivia:
