Thank you for your prayers, asking God, the “Lord of the harvest” to send out laborers into His harvest (Luke 10:2). Prayer for God’s Spirit and wisdom to guide them in their new roles is certainly needed. Your petitions for these men, their families, and the congregations where they serve are greatly appreciated.
