(Adapted from Bill Wilson's Prayer Cycle)

Day 1 - Your Missionary's Own Relationship with God
This is a missionary's primary area of need - don't place them on a 'suprt-spiritual' pedestal. Use passages like Col 1:9-12, Eph 3:14-19, Php 1:9-11.
   

Pray for:
Feeding on God's Word
Prayer life
Filling with the Holy Spirit
Maturity and growth in grace
Victory over Satan and the flesh

 
Day 2 - Your Missionary's Physical & Emotional Life
  Many missionaries live with extreme climates, frequent travel, isolation and disease. Pray continually and preventatively for:
    Good health
Safety
Deliverance from discouragement, loneliness and depression
     
Day 3 - Your Missionary's Family
  Missionary family concerns can be difficult to handle given their work and location. Pray for:
    Husband/wife relationships
Children's salvation and growth in the Lord, as well as their health and education
Close relatives at home
Family life as an effective witness
     
Day 4 - Your Missionary's Ability to Communicate
  Missionaries have the message of God's love to proclaim through their lives and lips in a language and culture not their own. Pray for:
    Language study and fluency
Cultural adaptation and understanding
Lives that show Jesus' love
     
Day 5 - Your Missionary's Ministry
  Support your missionary in their work. Pray using their prayer letters. Pray for:
    Teaching, preaching and witnessing
Boldness and open doors
Prepared hearts and fruitfulness
     
Day 6 - Your Missionary's Fellow Workers

    Other workers
Local pastors and teachers
     
Day 7 - Your Missionary's Country of Service
  Expand your praying to include the whole country where your missionary lives. Pray for:
    Political situation and the government
Visas and a continued open door
Outreach to cities, villages and tribes
