Jackson County Baptist Association Prayer Guide Day 1 - Port of Pascagoula Ministry: Please pray for the JCBA Seafarers Ministry, which serves the needs of more than 5,000 seafarers each year. Pray that by meeting some of the physical needs of seafarers and port employees we will be able to meet their spiritual needs. Day 2 - Missions Jackson County & Summer Teams: Please pray for volunteers from the Southern Baptist Churches in Jackson County who seek to meet the needs of their neighbors through construction projects. Each 3 rd Sat. of the months through October 2015, churches can partner with the association in meeting needs. Day 3 - Mission Partners in the Caribbean – Please pray for “But God” Ministries and their ministry in Haiti. Since the 2010 earthquake, “But God” Ministries has been building homes for those living in the “tent cities,” providing medical and dental care, and establishing churches to reach people for Christ. Day 4 - Mission Partners in Africa: Please pray for George and Geraldine Smith, missionaries in Uganda. Originally from Moss Point, the Smiths have served in Uganda for many years. A primary focus of their work has been evangelizing tribal peoples on the Buvuma Islands in Lake Victoria. Day 5 - Missions Partners in Central America: Pray for Pastor Omar Claros who leads the Baptist Mission of El Salvador in planting churches and Pastor Ricardo Fuentes, who pastors Fuente da Vida (River of Life), a Hispanic SBC Congregation in Orange Grove. Day 6 - Mission Partners in North America: Toledo: Please pray for the new partnership with Toledo, OH Church plant, New Heights Fellowship. The church has already planted three other churches to reach Toledo for Christ. Toledo has become a focus for Southern Baptists, because Muslims have built a huge mosque in Toledo, claiming they will overtake the city. Day 7 - People of Jackson County: Pray for your neighbors and the people throughout Jackson County who have not been born again. Statistics show us that anywhere from 68 to 80% of the residents of Jackson County are not affiliated with an evangelical congregation. We know people need a personal relationship with Christ. Pray that God will use you, your church, and JCBA to make an impact on Jackson County for Christ. To continue your prayer focus, please consider going online and visiting www.pray4everyhome.com.
