2. Pray for your missionary's physical and emotional life . Many missionaries live and work in difficult climates and where various diseases are prevalent. Pray for their health and safety. Also pray for deliverance from discouragement, loneliness and depression as they are in the thick of the spiritual battle.

3. Pray for your missionary's family . Pray, if married, for the husband and wife's relationship. Pray for the children---for their salvation and growth in the Lord. Pray that as a family, they will provide an excellent model for the people among where they serve.

4. Pray for your missionary's ability to communicate . Communication is the key to everything a missionary does. We must communicate with our lives and lips. For many, they must adapt to a new culture and learn a foreign language. Many languages, if not all, are difficult to learn. And a superficial knowledge of a language makes it very difficult to communicate spiritual truth. But knowing a language is not enough. A missionary must adapt culturally and communicate the love of Christ with the people he is seeking to reach.

5. Pray for your missionary's ministry . Pray for boldness, open doors and open hearts.

6. Pray for your missionary's fellow workers . Most probably, your missionary is not working completely off on his own someplace. He is usually part of a team and he will likely be working closely with the believers in that country. Probably, more than any other place, this is where Satan often gets in and causes havoc.
