HOW DO I GET TO KNOW OUR MISSIONARIES?
We can pray for missions in general but, just as it feels more meaningful to pray for our friends' specific needs, getting to know our missionaries helps us to be more bonded with them, and we can pray for their specific challenges and blessings, too!
Here are a few thoughts:
- choose missionaries to pray for (you could choose those you know or do not know, or are serving in particular place and culture that interests you)
- learn where in the world they live, what type of ministry they are involved in, who are the people they share Christ with (culture, religion, worldview)
- get their prayer emails...and/or email them to tell them you are praying for them. You might pray for physical, spiritual, emotional, relational, financial needs.
Find joy in connecting with missionaries. Consider the privilege of being involved in the commission Christ gave to "go and make disciples of all nations…” One of the ways you can do this is by praying for those with whom God has sent out from us to share the Gospel!
Touch base with Pastor Lynda or any on the Missions Ministry Team if you'd like to know more about the missionaries sent out from HBIC!

FLOODING VICTIMS
GIVING OPPORTUNITY
With recent flooding in Pakistan and devastating rains in Odisha, India, we want to highlight the BIC Global Compassion Fund. This fund was created to work hand in hand with BIC churches internationally to meet restorative needs together. Both Pakistan and India have requested help from the Global Compassion Fund to aid BIC leaders in both countries to assist those affected by the floods, and we want to invite you to consider giving generously to this fund as you feel called. To donate, visit our church's giving page here, and select BIC Global Compassion Fund, or be sure to mark your check or offering envelope. All funds donated will be forwarded to BIC World Missions.
