Challenge for Prayer
Many missions, especially short-term, have saturated this small nation. Much has been positive, particularly in the areas of medicine/health care (especially in the remote and poorer areas), literacy and training. But the never-ending presence of mission-trippers creates dependency, which actually undermines the national Church. Pray for fruitful partnerships that empower and require true sacrifice by all for Kingdom purposes.For an additional 3 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.

Challenge for Prayer
The Church’s impact is blunted by a failure to work together as much as is possible. However, United for Change - a large fellowship of pastors representing most evangelical churches - has recently formed to make prayer the overall priority among believers and to bring a united voice to the community on moral issues. Pray for genuine unity and collaboration for effective ministry in Bermuda and beyond.For an additional 2 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
