A PRAYER for those who SERVE...
Dear God of compassion and justice: With you is the fountain of life; by your light we see light. In this desperate world, let the Partners-in-Mission of CWM be a beacon of hope in the countries and societies they are placed. Enable them as they carry your universal love to local communities, theological colleges, and churches. Capacitate them as they use their qualifications, gifts and experiences to contribute in their respective fields. Where there is brokenness, let them bring healing. Where there is conflict, let them bring peace. May they know your wisdom as they minister in times of international war, economic crisis and global pandemics. Let those in cross-cultural ministry have sensitivity in their host contexts. Please watch over their families, some of whom serve with them and others back at home. We give you thanks for their service which they have gone about at personal cost. May you always be their source of strength by which they strengthen others. We lift up their health and well-being unto you and pray that they will always experience your protection, joy and unfailing peace as they usher in hope and healing in their respective contexts. We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen. Prayer by Mr. Stephen Chia, CWM Programme Associate
