Making Disciples of All Nations

Pray for our Mid-Termers (Summer 2013) – Day 2

Each year The Church at Brook Hills sends individuals and families called Mid-Termers to serve in different parts of the world.  Mid-Termers are those who serve anywhere from 2 months – 2 years.  It is a key element to the Global strategy at The Church at Brook Hills.  These individuals and families serve with strategic partners to strengthen the Long-Term Disciple-Making efforts of the church around the world.  Below are a few of those we are sending out this summer.  Join us as we pray for them this week.

 

 Jordan M. – Jordan grew up in Birmingham Alabama and has been a member of The Church at Brook Hills his whole life.  He and his family have been a vital part of this faith family since the beginning.  Jordan will graduate this month from Mississippi College with a degree in journalism and will leave at the beginning of June to serve a year in Haiti.  Jordan has served at the New Life Children’s Home in Port-Au-Prince for a week at a time for the past few years.  But an opportunity to serve for longer came about this past year.  Jordan will be living and serving at the Children’s Home taking care of the everyday needs of the children and the staff.

 Ways to Pray

-  Pray for Jordan to be fully content in Christ.  Pray for God to sustain him in times of hardship.

-  Pray for God to open up windows of opportunities for Jordan to share the gospel while he serves the people he is ministering to.

-  Pray for boldness.  Pray for Jordan to have the boldness to share the Gospel no matter the circumstance.
