An invitation for the church family to partner with you in prayer
📅Please submit by Monday, July 20 — just half a page + one photo
How to do it — 4 simple steps
This should take about 15–20 minutes. Keep it short and personal.
1
Read & reflect
Look over the five areas Paul asked prayer for below. Pick one that speaks to your heart as a Mexico mission team member — or another specific need on your heart.
2
Write a half-page
Write just half a page (a few short paragraphs is plenty). Share why this area matters to you and 2–3 specific things people can pray for. Personal and real is better than long.
3
Add one photo
Include one profile picture of yourself — it helps the church family put a face to your prayer request and pray for you personally.
4
Submit by Mon, July 20
Send your prayer letter + photo by Monday, July 20 (latest). We'll gather everyone's letters into one team prayer page to share with the church.
Pray as Paul Prayed
Paul was a pioneer missionary — beaten, imprisoned, shipwrecked — yet never lost sight of the goal. He asked his friends to pray for five things. Pick one as the focus of your letter (or another specific need on your heart):
1
Boldness
“That whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel… that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.”
Ephesians 6:19–20
2
Opportunity & Clarity
“That God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ… that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.”
Colossians 4:3–4
3
Protection
“That we may be delivered from wicked and evil men… But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.”
2 Thessalonians 3:2–3
4
Spiritual Walk
“Overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13
5
Thanksgiving
“With thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Philippians 4:6
💡 Not sure what to write?
Pick one area above, then share why it matters to you and 2–3 specific prayer points. For example:
“Please pray for boldness (Eph 6:19–20). This is my first mission trip and I'm nervous about sharing my testimony through a translator. Pray that I'd trust God with my words, that the language barrier wouldn't stop the gospel, and that I'd love the children we meet well.”
