Prayers

Pray for the Schlunds as they serve in Mexico City and continue to learn the culture and language. Pray that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has free reign through the LCMS missionaries serving in Mexico. Ask the Lord of the Harvest to call more workers from Mexico to spread the Gospel in their country. Pray the hearts of people here in the United States are moved to pray for and to financially support the Schlunds so they can “go with” this family on their journey of faith. Let us give thanks to God that the Schlunds are serving in this part of the world.
