The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 6:37b-39, NASB) Hi, this is Eleanor Witcher of IMB’s prayer office, joining you in this Week of Prayer for International Missions. Missionaries, expressing gratitude, have said, “We know you pray for us, so thank you for praying! We cross noisy streets or full streams, climb stairs or mountains, turn up the heat or wish we had heat, and in the midst of a thousand simple daily tasks, we bump against the thought of you. These thoughts remind us that we are part of a large family and that even when we feel alone, we aren’t.” Recently Barnabas* stood in tears as he prayed for a young woman in his church--their missionary. He stood in front of the congregation, confessing that he could not believe the work that God was preparing to do. This young woman was going to the very country that his parents had escaped decades ago during a period of genocide. She would take Christ to the people who had murdered his grandparents. “How can I know God exists?” This question was recently asked by a university student. If you were asked this question, how would you respond? The person asked simply answered, “Let’s pray! Let’s ask God that if He does exist, He will reveal Himself to you.” The student agreed to pray every day for one week and to see what happened. There are many people in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland who doubt the existence of God. What if we prayed every day for the Lord to reveal Himself to those who don’t believe?  * Please pray with personnel that God will reveal Himself and those who doubt will believe. * Intercede with Barnabas for this young missionary as she reaches beyond her own community. * Continue in prayer, knowing that prayer is making a difference in the lives of national believers, of those who do not yet know the Savior, and of missionaries serving around the world.   (*pseudonym)
