 | Chafer
Theological Seminary:
Chafer Theological Seminary exists to train biblical communicators both
in the use of the original languages of Scripture and to do theology
based on their exegesis.
This we model with confidence in the sufficiency of Scripture,
interpreting it naturally (literally) and, consequently, within a
dispensational and free-grace framework. |

Village Ministries International:
(Recent prayer requests!) Village Ministries
International is a non-denominational Christian ministry designed
to take both the gospel and the teaching of God's Word to the people of
the world. The target areas are villages and remote cities that
ordinarily would not be exposed to missionary activity or Bible
teaching. |

Glenhaven Youth Ranch, Plainview, Arkansas:
(Recent
prayer requests!)
For nearly twenty years, Glenhaven has provided long-term, Christian
residential placement for young men at risk. It is a place of peace and
beauty, isolated from many of the adverse outside influences of the
world. As the cattle quietly graze in the pastures, the homes and school
are a hub of activity and learning. It is in these settings, that young
men come to terms with the struggles that each have inside of
themselves. The young men who come to live at Glenhaven have behavior
problems, which include rebellion and disobedience. Most are behind
academically, or have some form of learning disability. Many of the
young men have a history of neglect, abandonment or abuse. Their fathers
are often absent from their lives due to death or divorce. Consequently,
these young men experience difficulty in developing healthy
relationships and struggle to trust other people or God.

How to pray for Missionaries: Do
not pray, "God bless all the missionaries - Amen," but rather, pray that
God:
- Will help them live their lives to the honor and
glory of Christ.
- Will give them opportunities to fulfill their
hearts' desire to reach the lost.
- Will give them a measure of health and protection
that will best glorify Him.
- Will grant them grace to overcome the difficulties
that may come their way.
- Will encourage them in the work so that they are
not frustrated by setbacks.
- Will give them unconquerable determination to go
through every obstacle with Him as their guide.
- Will allocate to them time to pray and study their
Bibles.
- Will provide religious freedom in the countries to
which they are led.
- Will help the presentation of the Gospel to be
understood by those listening to it.
- Will restrain their activities in order that they
might have the time and energy to accomplish His work.
- Will encourage them to discipline themselves in
their Bible study and preparation of Bible lessons.
- Will help them overcome temptation.
- Will give them strength, wisdom, and guidance in
bringing up their children in a foreign culture.
- Will cause their Bible Classes to be effective.
- Will help their new converts in the field to grow
spiritually.
- Will give them grace to overcome the loneliness,
irritations, and misunderstandings which may arise because of the
environment, culture and circumstances.
- Will give wisdom so that the efforts that they put
forth are for Him and not for self.
- Will provide for their material needs.
- Will provide the financial support for ministry
needs.
- Will give guidance in knowing what to do and in
planning when to do it.
- Will give enough fruit for their labors that they
will stay encouraged.
- Will give them insight into the foreign culture so
they might not be obnoxious or insensitive.
- Will provide protection from those who hate them
because they are foreigners and Christians.
- Will strengthen them spiritually so they can stick
with their decision to serve the Lord in a foreign culture.
- Will keep them humble when they are tempted to
pride in comparing themselves to the people they minister to.
