May 2021 Prayer Letter Praise and Prayer Requests

Praise God…

• For the two Luke 10 Think Tanks that took place in April. One was hosted by Evangelical Friends Church-Mid America Yearly Meeting on April 10 in Wichita, Kansas. The other was hosted by Evangelical Friends Church-Eastern Region in Canton, Ohio, on April 27. Representatives from Indiana Yearly Meeting participated in this one. Church leaders, people with missions experience, and some who are considering serving as missionaries gathered in both think tanks to help discern areas of the world to explore for the launching of new mission fields. Their recommendations will be considered at the national Luke 10 Think Tank on May 27.
• For the 70 plus people we are aware of who are open to the possibility that God may be calling them to be missionaries and for the steps he is helping us to take to help them in their discernment process (a retreat, a short-term trip to a mission field, a cohort, mentoring, etc.).

Please Pray…

• For the Lord of the harvest to send more workers into the harvest fields.
• For the Luke 10 Think Tank that Rocky Mountain Yearly Meeting will host in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday, May 8.
• For the Future Missionary Retreat that will take place on May 25-27 at Quaker Ridge, Colorado. Brad and Chelsea Carpenter are organizing and leading this retreat. We are expecting a good number of Friends who are exploring God’s call on their lives in regards to missions and also mentors with missionary experience.
• For the national Luke 10 Think Tank that will take place Thursday morning, May 27, at Quaker Ridge. Representatives from the four regional think tanks will be there along with participants in the Future Missionary Retreat and the EFM Board. The recommendations from the regional think tanks will be presented and at least 10 areas of the world selected for exploration through Luke 10 Trips.
