Day of Prayer

Once a month on a Monday we have what we call "A Day of Prayer". We take the class time to prayer for all the different countries that New Tribes Mission works in. At the beginning of the year our students are broken up into groups of two. Each group then picks one of the countries that New Tribes Mission works in, and does a fairly indepth report. So each Day of Prayer we have two presentations made during the first two hours of class. Today our first presentation was done by Ryan and Greg who showed us the work in Cambodia. They did a very good job showing us many things about the country. It is a field that just opened up a few years ago and there are all sorts of need for more personnel.

The second presentation was on Paraguay, done by Amberlynne and Erika. They also put together a nice presentation on the country. They had a table of artifacts for us to go and look at. We were served beans and rice along with some corn bread. (Yum, Yum!) Paraguay is field that has been open for quite awhile and yet there are many needs for laborers. New Tribes Mission of Paraguay would like to open up about eight new works. We broke up into groups to pray for some prayer requests in Paraguay.

The second half of the morning our students are broken into groups and go to a staff couples' home. Each student has gone through prayer letters from one of the countries that New Tribes Mission works in. Prayer requests from each field are then prayed for. It was once again exciting to see what God is doing on the mission field and to be more aware of the needs.
