As our mission team prepares to serve in Cuba, your prayers are crucial to the success of their efforts and the impact they will have. This prayer guide is designed to help you accompany our team on their journey through dedicated and thoughtful prayer each day.
Commit to Pray: To strengthen our collective prayer effort, we encourage you to set a daily alarm on your phone as a reminder to lift our team in prayer. A consistent time each day will not only keep our team covered in prayer but also unite us as a community in spiritual support from back here in Cleveland.
Pray with Purpose: In our church, we hold dear the value that prayer should be “Spirit-led and Scripture-fed.” Each day’s focus is paired with a specific Scripture passage. Let these verses guide your prayers, allowing the Holy Spirit to lead you as you intercede on behalf of the team. These Scriptures will serve as a foundation for your prayers, nourishing your spirit and aligning your petitions with the heart of God.
By committing to this daily practice, you are playing a vital role in the mission’s success and in the spiritual lives of both the team members and those they will serve. Thank you for your faithfulness and dedication to inviting people to new life in Christ.
