Starting 2012 Ahead: December Prayer Calendar
Posted by tom | Nov 30, 2011
As I mentioned yesterday with my post Starting 2012 Ahead: Overview, our family desires to be good stewards of our time on the mission field by focusing on equipping for outreach and being engaged in outreach instead of fund development. I know that many of our sponsors agree that significant conversations with students, emerging scholars, faculty, and health care professions is where our time and energy should be directed. To assist you in directing your prayers, here is our December Prayer Calendar. Please feel free to distribute among friends, family, small groups, local congregations, prayer ministries, etc. For those in South Central PA, please mark your calendar so you don't miss the upcoming special events:
