There are some for whom the word "mission" conjures up images of travels to the far side of the world for extended periods of time ... but that is NOT always the case. There are opportunities going on in your community - right here, right now - that have a genuine need for someone with exactly your skills, and exactly your schedule.
One is Faces of Children, an ecumenical prayer ministry under the auspices of First Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas. Our mission is to initiate ministries of prayer for children in churches, communities, and neighborhoods. In doing so, we seek to provide an opportunity for people of God to join together, learn about children and their needs throughout the world, and celebrate Christ's love (especially as it relates to children).
Faces of Children has a four-part mission ...
• educate by raising awareness about suffering children and children at risk;
• pray and mobilize groups to pray for children in churches, neighborhoods, communities across our nation, and throughout the world;
• build relationships with global ministries that reach out to children, praying with and for those ministries and the children they serve; and
• provide an opportunity for people of God to join in celebrating Christ's love, especially as it relates to children.
Faces of Children regularly prays for children at risk and in crisis - suffering children - and the workers and organizations who serve them. Faces of Children prays for the Church, governments and care-givers in their roles of responsibility to protect and care for God's children. They encourage others to form prayer groups that will also intentionally and regularly pray for children of war, poverty, abuse, hunger, sexual exploitation and slave labor ... for orphans, victims of AIDS and those suffering from disease ... for those who love and care for these young citizens of God's Kingdom. They believe that through prayer and petition, God will change the lives of children and transform the hearts of those who abuse, exploit and oppress God's children.
