Supporting WGL International Workers

Western Great Lakes IWs Need Your Support

Our WGL International Workers, at work with the C&MA in eight countries, are an extension of District ministries going to people and places cross-culturally to proclaim the Gospel message. It is vital for our congregation to see and understand C&MA missions and to participate in the “ownership” in the tasks of our IWs.

You can help build Christ's Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund .

All of the IWs listed under the WGL depend on our prayer and financial support during their home service assignments, approved specials relating to their missions work, and greatly appreciate our correspondence while on the field.

Approved specials are those specific projects that our District IWs are involved in, which are officially approved by C&MA leadership. These projects are only funded through the special, designated giving of friends and churches. These projects are not funded with Great Commission Fund monies and are not part of the field budget. The IWs are dependent upon the church families in the WGL to meet these needs.

How To Pray For International Workers

Praying for IWs is a vital part of the IW effort.

Every Christian can pray. No matter what your spiritual experience or measure of faith, you can pray. Most of us know that we should pray for our IWs but we lack the discipline of doing it in a regular and consistent manner. Here are some helpful hints:

Target your prayers. As WGL District IWs tour the district you have an opportunity to get to know them personally. Make it a point of focusing in on a few. Keep your prayer list to no more than three that are a special concern to you.

Pray specifically. Know your IW by name. Know the whole family. Have a picture at the kitchen table, on the refrigerator, at work or anywhere so that you will be reminded of them throughout the day.

Pray daily. A few minutes each day is better than an hour only once in a while. The best way to do it is to make it a life habit - at the breakfast table, over lunch or before bed. Just do it!
