How to Pray for Displaced and Re-assigned IMB Missionaries During 2020 many of our IMB missionaries were displaced from their countries due to Covid-19 and other reasons. Most of these families have been re-assigned to new IMB cross-cultural missions assignments. Here are some ways you can pray for them: After a very emotional year with much loss and uncertainty, "new" can be exhausting. Ask God to give your IMB missionaries refreshed hearts. Pray for your IMB missionaries who will have to learn a new language. Pray for IMB kids (called Third Culture Kids––TCKs) who will enroll in new schools. Pray for both parents and children who will need to make new friends and learn new ways of doing things in their new countries. M A R A PR 2 0 2 1
