“Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me” (Isaiah 6:8).
As we close our PreEaster Week of Prayer, let’s pause to remember what this weekend means to us.
In this verse, toward the conclusion of Isaiah’s awesome vision of God, we find the prophet humbled beyond words. We can’t even imagine what it will be like to see Christ in all His glory. As we think of all He has done—His love and mercy—what keeps us from crying out, “Here am I send me?” What excuse are you using for not doing the “send me stretch?”
Today our mission focus is on Mission Leadership. May we put our recent Treasure study on encouragement into practice, as we pray and support those in Mission Leadership.

PRAY TOGETHER: On this Good Friday, remember these PreEaster Prayer items.
Praise the Lord for a movement of the Holy Spirit in hearts
of pastors who are committing themselves to support
International Missions, the overseas mission arm of Free Will
Baptists. Praise Him for those who are stepping out on faith in
their giving.
Continue to pray for the staff who carry great responsibilities
and heavy work loads; for the challenges of a diminishing
missionary work force; for the financial crisis within
International Missions; for establishing and developing and
communicating a clear vision for the future; for Free Will
Baptists to be unified in accomplishing God’s plan for getting
the gospel to the ends of the earth.
Pray especially for General Director Clint Morgan, Director
of Field Operations Jeff Turnbough, Director of Advancement
Mark McPeak, Director of Financial Operations Rob Conley,
and Regional Directors Dale Bishop and Tim Keener. Ask God to
grant them wisdom and discernment in all issues.
