Release International

Items for prayer:

Please pray for us!
All of us at Mission International are grateful for those who pray for us on a regular basis.   We agree that our ministry  and service would not be successful if you were not praying for us.

News & Announcements:
We post items on the News & Announcements page on a regular basis and so if you need to be kept up to date with regard to prayer, this would be a good place to begin.

Teams:
The recruitment, training and deployment of mission teams is a central part of the work that we do.   Please pray for quality hard-working team members to apply and pray for those to whom we minister, that God would meet with them and prepare them for His service.   Please also for our safety as we travel and minister in often difficult circumstances.

If you would like to let us know you are praying regularly or would like to ask a question on the work in which we are involved, please contact us on mail@mission-international.org

New Year 2011

It is at this time of year that our minds turn to the future and to what God wants of us as the New Year unfolds.   It is true to say that God has been good to us in 2010 and we can be sure that His grace and favour is promised in the new year too.
Part of our service to the Lord is to pray.   It is often the most difficult area of a Christian's life, making time to pray, knowing what to pray about and identifying God's will and purpose for our lives.   We can be sure that if we pray God will speak to us and will guide us for the future.
As the new year opens and as 2011 progresses we would appreciate your prayers for the work in which we are involved.

• Evangelism - Our mission teams make every effort to share the Good News about Jesus wherever they go.  The environment is not always easy to cope with but the commitment is there to allow often un-reached people groups to know of the great love of Jesus.
• Discipleship - Jesus calls us to be disciples and to make disciples.   This call is so necessary in the developing world where resources for pastors and church leaders are so limited.   Please pray that we can help resource in terms of teaching as well as in terms of literature to give local pastors the necessary materials to serve and teach in their churches.
• Projects - Supporting the poor through small, medium and large projects is key to our purpose as we obey God's call to the world.   The funding required to provide a small income generating project or a large dwelling, medical, training or educational resource is so necessary to bring infrastructure and also hope to communities in great need.  Please pray that God makes a way for us to provide what is necessary in support of poor and needy communities around the world.

Please let us know if you are praying for us.   If you would like a representative of Mission International to come to speak about our work in your locality we would be delighted to discuss this with you. 

Teams summer 2010

Please pray for 2010 summer Mission Teams:

During July and August of 2010 there are proposed teams to Burundi, Kenya and India, then a further school team in October 2010. Please pray with us that God allows us to achieve great things as a result of these teams. Many of those who participate have little experience of a Christian team of any kind and so we would ask that you would pray for God to touch and challenge all concerned.

Please also pray that our teams are filled up and that those who are seeking support to fund their trip will be suitably provided for.

Mission Team - Burundi 2009!

Pray for the Burundi Team:
A team of 15 people will head out to Burundi on 14th July to support our partners in Burundi Rema Ministries. The team comprises a dentist, a doctor and three further medics, young people and older people and will be involved in medical/dental practice as well as evangelism, youth and children's work and training for church leaders.

Please pray for:

• Safe Travel from Scotland via Amsterdam, Nairobi to Bujumbura and within Burundi for the period of 2-3 weeks.
• The many who will come for medical/dental treatment that the practitioners will have the energy to treat those who come and the wisdom to know how to proceed in difficult circumstances.
• Those team members who have not been to Africa before that they are not too seriously affected by culture shock.
• The many who will come to hear the Gospel that they may decide to follow Jesus and that their lives will be dramatically changed.
• Those who give testimony, perform songs and drama and who preach will find God's inspiration to share appropriate material.
• That the Rema team (MI Partners) will benefit and be blessed by the team experience too.
• A positive and safe experience for everyone involved.
