Pray for Missionaries Passage: Mark 12:41-44, focus verse 44
The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
Return of an Unclean Spirit
“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none.
Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order.
The widow lived in a religious system that approved big and flashy giving, loud and public praying, and other actions that “showed off” the religious well-to-do. She humbly gave out of her poverty in a way that honored God, beyond all the large gifts given out of surplus. How does this story reflect our call to give to those in need? The answer is in Jesus’ admiration of the poor widow, “For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she had to live on” (v. 44 NLT).
Our lives are not our own, just as coins were not her own, and we should give all of ourselves to serve those around us because of our love for the Lord, and His surpassing love for us and others. Missionaries are a perfect example of this; they leave their homes and families and give their lives so others can know the gospel's truth. Pray today, thanking the Lord for those who faithfully serve and sacrifice their comforts for God’s glory.
Prayer Focus: Sub-Saharan African Peoples: Pray for missionaries who have aging parents in the United States. One of the struggles when working overseas is not being close and available when sickness or other hardship affects family members and loved ones. Pray that God would give missionaries wisdom on when to travel home to ailing parents and peace when they cannot be present during challenging moments.

Missions Through WMU and WOM
The mission of God is a thread woven throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. God makes it clear His desire is for all people to know Him and follow Him. The Bible helps us understand God’s mission and know how Christians are to be involved in His mission.
God issued the mandate for us to be involved in missions through the Great Commission. Our choice is how to be involved. WMU and WOM offers many opportunities for giving and hands-on service missions projects.
