LCMS World Missions
Jewish Mission Work – Dec. 28-31
There are approximately 5.2 million Jewish people in the United States. In 1973, the LCMS passed a resolution calling on the church body to begin to study ways and means for helping congregations to witness to the Jewish people.
Remember Jewish mission work as you pray:
28. for the Detroit and Florida-Georgia branches of LIJE, as they work to reach out to Jewish people in their communities.
29. with thanks for the formation of LIJE in 1981 to intentionally carry the Gospel message to the Jewish people in the United States and for the LCMS leadership that God called to make this happen.
30. that Jewish people who have become followers of Jesus Christ would not lose faith, even as they face rejection by friends and family members, but would keep their focus on their eternal inheritance of life with Him in heaven.
31. that all who actively work in Jewish outreach would not be discouraged by resistance to the Gospel, but would expectantly hope in God’s power to break down all barriers, so that more Jewish people would know Him through Jesus Christ.
VIETNAM - Jan. 1-3
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod began work in Vietnam in 1995, serving through projects that provide humanitarian assistance and educational services. The Vietnamese Government recognizes LCMS World Mission as a non-government organization.
Remember LCMS work in Vietnam when you pray:
1. with thanks for the people of Vietnam, whom God has created beautifully. Pray that they would see the great love their Creator has for them.
2. with thanksgiving for the great progress, economic and political, that Vietnam has made in the past decade, but also pray for the long road ahead, especially for those who still suffer in poverty and disease.
3. for LCMS World Mission volunteers, Michael Tan, James Rush, Melanie Dunn, and Carl Myrhe, as they teach English in universities. Pray that they would form significant and meaningful relationships with their students while providing a valuable service. Also, pray that they will be a model for teaching methods, so that Vietnam can improve its teaching methodology. Pray that God will raise up more long-term volunteers for future years, so that LCMS World Mission can expand its service to the Vietnamese people.
