These are topics of prayer requests that are common to most of those serving on the mission field.

Faith Journey
His or her relationship with the Lord must be a priority to effectively do the work to which God calls them. Pray for increasing depth in that relationship.

Financial Support
With the value of the U.S. dollar consistently falling, financial worries can be a constant drain on a missionary's emotional health. In addition, transferring funds can be a complicated procedure that requires a great deal of time. Pray for wisdom and provision of resources.

Family Life
Creating a positive family environment in a foreign culture can be challenging with added concerns of schooling and social interaction. Pray for family unity and positive experiences for children.

Global Region
Adjusting to a different culture and learning a foreign language can be difficult and take considerable time away from ministry. Pray for good personal relationships and experiences that help in overcoming any culture and language barriers.

Spiritual Attacks
The enemy can use emotional and physical challenges to discourage those on the field. This can impede ministry progress and cause discouragement. Pray for victory and God's strong presence in the midst of the battle.

Praise Reports
Look for ways to rejoice with missionaries as they communicate success stories from the field. Pray for God to be greatly glorified in everything he accomplishes through the hands of his servants.
