Operation World

 
 

Operation World is a global prayer resource (available online or as a book), divided by day and by country, so you can pray for the world over the year.  

 

You may visit http://www.operationworld.org for more information and to begin praying for the nations now through the Pray Today link.

 

 There is no better way to develop a heart for a nation from a distance, than on your knees, praying for them.

Prayer Requests:     

 

Please pray for Iris Feuillade, the mother of SAMS missionary Chris Feuillade who is gravely ill.  Also, pray for Chris' father, Len who has to travel a long distance to visit with her.  Pray for Chris to have peace. 

 

 

 

Lift up SAMS newest missionary candidate Anna Stevens as she visits churches to share the vision God has given her and to seek for Him to raise up senders for her mission to Ecuador. 

 

 

 

Praise Report:

 

We are thankful for the successful surgery for SAMS trustee Rich Englander's wife Lucia.  Pray she has a full and quick recovery.
