PRAYER GUIDE for Baylor Missions’ Team Members
As you prepare for your discipline specific mission trip, pray that God opens your eyes to how this experience will help you learn and grow in your chosen area of study and plans for the future.
VOCATION
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:10-11
Let this verse guide you in prayer to prepare your heart, soul, and mind for the experience ahead.
