06 A Grateful Journey Home

Our group photo at the Bema in Corinth, Greece. A tremendous experience!

Update 6 of the 21-Day Missions Prayer Guide

Scripture

“The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” — Psalm 121:8

Reflection:

I wrote this reflection on the plane from Athens to Atlanta, flying back home to Nashville.

The missions event in Greece was invigorating. 

One of the greatest blessings was the opportunity to live in community with a remarkably diverse group of missionaries—multinational, multilingual, and multicultural.

We broke bread together, shared life together, and prayed together at all times. 

I was inspired by their faithfulness and resilience, and humbled by their appreciation for my small part in the journey.

This trip reminded me again that God’s mission is deeply relational. 

His work always flows through people—through friendships, mentoring, and shared spiritual formation. 

I’ll reflect more deeply on this theme of relationships and discipleship in an upcoming post.

For now, I simply want to say thank you for your faithful prayer covering. 

The prayers of the saints (that’s you!) have made all the difference. 

The Lord has been gracious—keeping me safe, healthy, and fruitful throughout this journey.

Looking Ahead: A Shift in Focus

As I continue the 21-Day Missions Prayer Guide, the first six posts captured real-time updates from the field in Korea and Greece.

From this point forward, the reflections will shift focus—offering retrospective insights drawn from those experiences, with broader prayer points for missions, discipleship, and worship around the world.

Each post will continue to weave Scripture, stories, and prayer around the heartbeat of God’s mission.

Today’s Prayer Focus

• Pray for the missionaries you know—wherever they are serving. Pray especially for the OMF missionaries who are part of this leadership cohort.

• Pray for missionaries returning from the field—for renewal, encouragement, and spiritual refreshment.

• Pray for yourself, that your understanding of God’s heart for the nations would deepen.

• Pray for God to strengthen and unify His global Church.

Closing

Thank you again for your prayers—they truly make all the difference.

The grace and peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
