Living & Praying Intentionally in 2023
This resource therefore provides a weekly scripture for meditation selected from the Revised Common Lectionary (a cycle of readings shared by many churches) as well as a list of im portant Christian days, including the name of each Sunday, to help you grow and stay in tune with Christian brothers and sisters around the world. It is our sincere hope that as you practice these rhythms and engage in prayer for the na tions, you will indeed be led “into all the truth.”

all things—on earth and in heaven (see Col. 1:20).
Karl Barth, the great 20th-century Swiss pastor and theologian, is well known for saying Christians must read both the newspaper and the Bible—and they must interpret the newspaper through the Bible. In essence, the Personal Prayer Diary and Daily Planner enables this. It contains pressing news and information about the world as well as thoughtful voices offering biblical perspectives. Its articles, Scripture resources, and prayers bring together knowledge of current events and knowledge of the Bible.
You hold in your hands a unique prayer and scheduling tool designed to help you live an in tentional, integrated life connected to God’s king dom. Each year the articles featured in this plan ner are prayerfully selected. The monthly prayer articles offer you an informed view into significant changes and opportunities taking place around the world. The topics for prayer include: an insightful look at the spiritual history of the Ukraine, the world coming to our doorsteps due to shifting populations, while a growing move of unity among churches is having impact locally and abroad.
One way we can cultivate an awareness of God’s perspective is to join with other believers in the daily, weekly, and yearly rhythms of the Christian life. For centuries, Christians around the world have recalled the important events in the life of Christ and the early church—Jesus’s birth, death, resurrection, and more. In many Christian communities, it is through the Christian year, not the calendar year, that they keep time—the “time” of the church and the Christian life. John Witvliet writes, “The Christian year . . . provides a way of understanding the Christian life. These events are not just about Jesus; they are about us” (see his article on page 12). By living into the seasons of the Christian year, we continually orient ourselves in God’s Story. It is a way to focus our whole lives on the person of Jesus Christ and the continuing work of God in the world.
Prayer is key for our Christian lives. Prayer is relational; it involves speaking and listening; it engag es our hearts and minds. When we open our minds to God in humble worship and through honest di alogue, we invite the Spirit to lead us “into all the truth” ( John 16:13). In prayer, God can help us see with spiritual eyes the events occurring in our world today. Not satisfied with the lens of the media or our own limiting biases, we seek the perspective of God, who through Jesus Christ is reconciling to himself

You no longer need to travel overseas to reach the nations for Jesus. War, tyranny, famine, gang violence, and poverty have driven millions from their homelands and into the cities of the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Some are likely to be living near you, longing for friendship, and open to hearing about the Lord.
While there are dozens of U.S. and Canadian government agencies that assist refugees and oth er immigrants with services, they recognize the need for local nongovernment support. Refugee Council USA formed for this purpose, and its members include twenty-nine Christian and hu manitarian organizations. For more than seven ty-five years, one of the most well-known groups, World Relief, has partnered with churches to as sist immigrants coming into North America.
Stanley says the best way to reach them is sim ple hospitality. He helped launch the Internation al Friends Network (IFN) to encourage churches to welcome immigrants and offer them hospital ity and friendship. “We usually ask if they have ever been to an American home for a meal. Nine ty percent say they haven’t.” IFN volunteers host home meals, holiday gatherings, English practice, and soccer games to build friendships and ulti mately lead them to friendship with Jesus.
The influx, particularly at the U.S. southern border, has provided the Church with an unprecedented opportunity to reach those who would generally be thousands of miles away and hidden behind linguistic and cultural barriers. The U.S. now is home to an estimated 45 million foreign-born residents, or about 13 percent of the population. The percentage is even higher in Canada, with 8 million immigrants totaling 21.5 percent of its populace.1 Refugees are found in every state/province and urban area of North America.“Wehad eighty language groups within walk ing distance of our YWAM ministry center in Chicago,” said its former director, Brad Stanley, who is now working with refugees in Tennessee. “They form a much-neglected mission field that’s right in our own neighborhoods.”

Venezuela. Some refugee groups have been in the U.S. for decades and have become success ful citizens, including Cambodians, Vietnamese, Hmong (Laos), and Kurds (Iraq). Other more recent arrivals from DR Congo, Myanmar (Royhinga), and Somalia struggle to find their way.
Many come from places often in the news— Ukraine, Afghanistan, Sudan, Syria, Haiti, and

Since 2021, floods of refugees have crossed the U.S. southern border from Honduras and El Salvador, where gang violence, natural disasters, and poverty have caused great misery. Another recent wave came when the U.S. relocated 76,000 Afghans before the Taliban takeover.
• Do some research. Start by asking God to guide you. Then search online or at your local library to find out which are the largest immigrant groups in your area. Read as much as you can about their culture before meeting them.
Ways to Meet the Needs
The Mission Field in Your Neighborhood
Our scarred and struggling newcomers need a
priceless commodity called “hope.” Life in a new land offers safety and opportunity, but a new home or job or education can’t fix their inner brokenness. As with all humans, their deepest need is spiritual. Only God’s grace and power can heal the wounds in their hearts and minds. Only His peace will comfort. They need Christian friends who will in troduce them to our Savior Jesus and the God of all comfort by their prayers and kindness.
A 2021 Christianity Today Forum article titled “Here’s Why Refugee Ministry Is Not Missions as Usual” says, “Their past is tainted with suffering and loss. Their present is marked by dependency on humanitarian agencies or social services. Their future is uncertain.”2 The article, written by Inter national Association for Refugees’ President Tom Albinson, says politicians portray these asylum seekers as a burden or even a threat to society. What they want most is to have a normal life again. He urges Christians to be a welcoming and healing force, to treat these newcomers with respect and believe they will become valued members of soci ety. Albinson also calls us to put hospitality before social programs and love them rather than follow ing a predetermined plan to convert them.

Loving Your Neighbor
• English tutoring. Schools, colleges, and com munity centers assist millions of immigrant children and adults who need English lan guage tutoring. You don’t have to be a certi fied teacher to help. Call their administrative offices to find out how to volunteer. Good teaching resources include the game-based program Kahoots! on the starfall.com website and the workbook Instant English4 by Mark Tremper, an ESL specialist who has served in Wycliffe, YWAM, and various school districts.
All Christians should make intercession for immi grants and refugees a part of their prayer life. Indi vidual churches can help by including prayer for refugees and war-torn nations in their services. A Spirit-led human touch accompanies the most ef fective prayers. Here are some ways to meet these newcomers and help them with the many chal lenges they face:
Loving your neighbor takes on new dimen sions when it comes to refugees. Many have suf fered traumas that are unimaginable to citizens in their new homelands. These include war, the threat of execution, rape, murder of a family member, imprisonment, torture, hunger, and homelessness. The National Institutes of Health has published studies3 that show high levels of PTSD among these refugees and asylum seekers. The U.S. and Canada now provide mental health services to help those struggling with depression, fear, anger, sleep lessness, and other mental health issues.
Jesus and His family were refugees in Egypt (Matthew 2:13–15). He identifies with those forced from their homelands. That’s why His words in Matthew 25:31–40 have prompted so many Christians through the centuries to open their hearts and homes to the needy. He says, “I was a stranger, and you invited me in…” (v. 35). No won der believers have been at the forefront of resettlement and relief efforts for millions of Ukrainians displaced by the 2022 Russian invasion.
• Host family programs. Many colleges and uni versities offer these as a way for international students to meet people in the community. These are not live-in programs, such as with high school exchange students. They are sim ply opportunities to be matched with students who will be future leaders in their home coun tries. Many have been led to Christ through their hosts’ welcome, hospitality, and love.
• Border outreaches. The immigrant crisis has left thousands stranded in detention centers or camps on both sides of the U.S. southern border. These asylum seekers are not just from Latin America. Some have come from Ukraine, Syria, and Africa. Churches and re lief agencies such as Samaritan’s Purse, the Salvation Army, and YWAM’s Mercy Works provide opportunities for short-term teams to minister to the asylum seekers.
Pray
• for open hearts—that communities will wel come their newcomers with respect and kind ness. And also that refugees will open their hearts to Jesus and connect to a local church.
• for relationships. Ask God to help you and your church meet immigrants in your com munity. Pray for guidance on how to welcome them and assist with their practical needs.
The Mission Field in Your Neighborhood
• In Luke 10, Jesus affirmed the commandment to “Love your neighbor as yourself.” When asked to define neighbor, He used the exam ple of a Samaritan who showed more kindness to an injured stranger than two of Israel’s reli gious leaders.
Refugees and immigrants are among the neediest people in our country. Show them love and kind ness, and you will be showing them the heart of Jesus.
• for peace in places where war and civil unrest are raging. So many of those who have fled into Europe, North America, and Australia did so to escape violence.
• Community activities. The Salvation Army and social services agencies in your area already serve immigrants and refugees. Volunteer with them. You can also meet newcomers through sports, especially soccer; at shopping places such a Costco or Super Mercado; at cultural events such as Cinco de Mayo, Chinese New Year, and Ramadan; or at ethnic restaurants and businesses.
churches supported or sponsored more than two million refugees (as individuals or fami lies). Churches in Canada can still sponsor refugees, but tighter U.S. immigration rules have squeezed off that option. Agencies such as World Relief, World Vision, and Bethany Christian Services continue to link churches with refugees, assisting them in various ways to rebuild their lives.

• Volunteer work. Our new international neigh bors need help in various ways. Specific skills required include legal (processing immi gration papers), health care, job placement, counseling (for past trauma and resettlement struggles), and driving (to get them to ap pointments). Others can help by guiding them to local resources through find.usahello.org (English, Spanish, and Arabic).
• for families. In times of war and chaos, fam ilies often get separated, some children are
• for leaders. The apostle Paul urges us to pray for “all those in authority” (1 Timothy 2:1–2). Now more than ever, our leaders need wis dom to deal with the refugee crisis. Pray for international leaders to pursue peace and re patriation of displaced peoples.
• for them by name. God knows each one by name, and He loves them. Pray for the specific needs of each person you come to know.
Love Them as God Does
We are further encouraged and motivated to wel come, serve, and pray for immigrants and refu gees as we keep in mind what the Bible has to say about them:
orphaned, and they feel disconnected from relatives and their native culture.
• for justice. Ask God to thwart the evil works of those who prey on refugees through sex and drug trafficking, extortion, and forced labor. Ask God to rescue and comfort those who have been victimized.
• “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them…. Love them as yourself” (Leviticus 19:33–34).
March
In the last century, there has been a great dias pora of Ukrainians to the West. Most who have immigrated to the United States live in the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los An geles. Canada has an even larger Ukrainian immi grant population. Over 700,000 Ukrainians live
Iryna’s eyes flooded with tears as she lit a candle at the Orthodox church in Chicago. She usually lit candles as a prayer for sick relatives or friends. This one was for her husband, Sergei, a fireman in Mariupol, Ukraine. When the war began, it seemed as though the whole city was on fire. At Sergei’s urging, Iryna and their twelve-year-old daughter, Ulyana, were evacuated to Romania. They stayed for weeks in a refugee center that was crowded with anguished mothers, chil dren, and old people. Iryna could no longer watch the news. Mariupol looked dead, a vast wasteland of destroyed buildings and rubble, with the bodies of civil ians scattered through the streets. Her husband likely was dead as well, although she clung to the desperate hope that he might still be alive. All that kept her go ing was a desire to give Ulyana a new life. Immigration to the U.S. gave Iryna that chance, but life in America proved harder than she imagined. With poor English and no job, she is dependent on others for their basic needs. She daily cries to God, “Please help us. Our fu ture feels as unsettled as that of our homeland.”

waves into neighboring European countries. Be ing displaced is hard enough, but it’s even harder when you are left wondering if your relatives and friends are dead or if you will ever be able to re turn to your home.
The war also caused family pain on a much broader level. Russia and Ukraine were neighboring republics in the old Soviet Union, and many citizens have relatives on both sides of the border. They speak similar East Slavic languages, practice a common Eastern Orthodox faith, and share centuries of political, business, and social con nections. Those ties have been strained and often shattered in the bloody conflict.
The war has ripped apart millions of Ukrainian families. At the outset, the country conscript ed men of fighting age to defend their country. Women, children, and the elderly fled in massive
Iryna’s dreams are like those of most immi grants—to be safe, to have a job, a home of her own, and a good school for her daughter.
The Sinister Threat
In March 2022, President Joe Biden announced plans for the U.S. to admit 100,000 Ukrainian refu gees. The resettlement began very slowly and drew blistering criticism from legislators and refugee agencies. Iryna and Ulyana waited for weeks in a Romanian shelter. When the asylum process speed ed up, they were among the first sent to Chicago.

Pray
• for a future hope, holding to God’s promise in Jeremiah 29:11: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’”
• for Ukrainian families to be reunited. Pray also that bitterness over the war would not cause them to hate all Russians
appear confused and vulnerable. They offer en ticements and then force them into sex trade or work as household servants.
Even before the war, one of Iryna’s biggest fears was for blond, blue-eyed Ulyana. Sex trafficking rings are notoriously active in Ukraine and neighboring countries. “For predators and human traffickers, the war in Ukraine is not a tragedy,” UN Secretary General António Guterres warned. “It’s an oppor tunity—and women and children are the targets.”
• for Ukrainians and all refugees immigrating to the U.S. and Canada to find welcoming hosts, jobs, education, and Christian friends
Refugees in America
• that God would draw many refugees to Himself and that they will discover that Jesus is the only true source of peace, safety, comfort, truth, and freedom
in the prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, which have a climate and grainbased economy similar to Ukraine.
• against human trafficking and for justice and freedom for those who have been exploited
Sadly, the new wave of Ukrainian immigrants to the U.S. brought fresh war wounds—trauma from gunfire and missile strikes, pain over lost homes and loved ones, and fears about the future. Some needed counseling. Most needed social ser vices help. All needed the healing touch of friend ship. A Ukrainian-American couple related to her husband, Sergei, took Iryna and Ulyana into their home when they arrived. Even their kindness did not stop Iryna from bouts of weeping. She found solace in the familiar setting of a nearby Ukrainian Orthodox church where other recently arrived immigrants gather and find some comfort.
Even in America, the danger is still present. Their hosts warned Iryna that traffickers go after teen runaways and internationals because they
Countless immigrants, especially those who are in the country illegally, are threatened and ex ploited daily. They often live in crowded, substan dard housing, are paid below minimum wage (if paid at all), and suffer physical and sexual abuse. They come to distrust all people and think God has forgotten them. But He hasn’t. Their best hope is for a caring Christian to recognize their plight, pray for them, and help them find a way to safety.Churches that target “the mission field in their neighborhoods” form an essential bridge to new life for immigrants. Part of this role is practical ser vice—English tutoring, enrolling kids in school, rides to medical and services appointments, job applications, and answering the many questions newcomers have. The other part is spiritual— modeling the love and grace of Jesus, praying for them, giving counsel, and acting as their advocate in encounters with authorities. We who honor Jesus as “the way, the truth, and the life” should show by our example that He is the answer to all their deepest needs.
When Iryna and Ulyana crossed the border into Romania, they quickly spotted two suspi cious looking men who were standing beside an unmarked, windowless van. When they offered an unaccompanied girl a ride to a refugee center, Iry na caught the girl’s attention and shouted, “Run!” Then she grabbed Ulyana and kept running until she saw two women sitting at a table with a cross and a “Welcome Friends” sign.
