Teams are asked to pray for the soil (Matthew 13:1-23) and pray for the workers (Luke 10:2). Teams are sent or guided by sponsoring regions\/yearly meetings of the new EFM fields that have been leading exploration. 10:2 Prayer Trips will target appropriate communities for prayer walking and interceding that \u201cthe Kingdom come, and God\u2019s will be done on earth as it is in heaven\u201d in those places.<\/p>\n<p>The next 10:2 Prayer Trip will take place in Greece from April 2 to 9. The team is comprised of five members from NWYM: Robert Garon, Josiah Muhr, Leisa Muhr, Jennifer Morin, and Jim Le Shana, and three members from FSW: Lisa Dirrim, Tyler Lemen, and Tracie Lemen-FSW.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28064 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Greece_NEW-FIELD-286x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"148\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Greece_NEW-FIELD-286x300.png 286w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Greece_NEW-FIELD-975x1024.png 975w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Greece_NEW-FIELD-768x807.png 768w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Greece_NEW-FIELD-1462x1536.png 1462w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Greece_NEW-FIELD-1949x2048.png 1949w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Greece_NEW-FIELD-11x12.png 11w, https:\/\/friendsmission.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Greece_NEW-FIELD-600x630.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 148px) 100vw, 148px\" \/>The hope for this field is to plant churches among Islamic refugees who continue to flood into the country. In 2021, 9,000+ new refugees came into the country. Last year, in 2024, that number ballooned to over 62,000.<\/p>\n<p>Team leader Jim Le Shana shared the following about the trip. The purpose of this prayer team is to serve as a kind of spiritual reconnaissance squad or an advance exploration group \u2013 to pray, listen, observe, and to pray some more. A couple of key phrases that we plan to pray about frequently are: 1) for workers for the harvest field, and 2) for the Lord to build his church. These come from key passages of scripture, which are: Luke 10:2 (and also Matt 9:35-38: \u201cask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest field\u201d) and Matthew 16:18 (\u201cI will build My Church and the gates of Hades will not overcome it\u201d). Thank you for your prayers for and with us!<\/p>\n<table style=\"background-color: #0d5eaf;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Here are some ways you can be praying for this trip!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Pray for good connections and meetings with the right people who can give the team fresh insights.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Pray for effective times of listening to the Lord and each other.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Pray for good health, physical safety, plane connections going smoothly, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Pray that the Lord will help the team to find and interact with the right individuals who can help to provide a deeper understanding of the need in the country, and a potential pathway forward for planting churches and ministering effectively with Islamic refugees<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The harvest is great, but the workers are few.
