Missionaries

Missionaries. We're all called to be missionaries. On the mission of Christ in the context in which He's called us. I don't know if you've ever considered yourself a missionary, but if you are a follower of Jesus, you are called as a missionary to join Him in His redemptive work.

Karen and John Zilen have been faithfully serving Jesus overseas for many years now. Karen and John are Ida Frey's daughter and son-in-law (Ida is a charter member of Orchard Hill Church and is still an active member of our body). Karen and John travel about encouraging and strengthening missionaries on the field. They offer support and care to those in the trenches of ministry overseas. Today's prayer calendar asks that you please pray for the Zilen's....that they themselves will feel supported and cared for, refreshed and equipped to counsel, support, and encourage others in the Lord.

God, we your people, are the representation and incarnational presence of Jesus in your world. I pray for your followers in every city, every country. May the body of Christ bear witness to the character of Christ, the love of Christ, the passion of Christ so that the world may know your love and salvation and restoration.
