Every day, Living Lutheran offers a prayer for the day from the ELCA resource Prayer Ventures, which can be downloaded here. These petitions are offered as a guide for your own prayer life as together we pray for the needs of the world and give thanks for the ministries of our church.
Wednesday, July 26: We remember in our prayers ELCA missionaries the Rev. Colin and the Rev. Jennifer Grangaard, the Rev. Victor and Sara Makari, the Rev. Carrie and the Rev. Robert Smith, Deaconess Adrainne and Ben Gray, and the seven young adults serving in the Young Adults in Global Mission program in Jerusalem/West Bank. Pray their ministries will be blessed as they work alongside companion churches and institutions to share the gospel, strengthen and grow the church, advocate for justice and peace, and serve the needs of communities.
