This week the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention elected Tom Elliff to be the president to lead their organization. The IMB has over 5,000 missionaries working around the world. I was in the same missionary orientation group with Tom in 1981.
Tom Elliff asked people to pray for him and his wife Jeannie in seven specific ways. I think his request is one we all could adopt for our lives.
1) we will have a constant awareness that we are ambassadors for Christ;
2) we will live before God with pure hearts;
3) we will experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit;
4) we will display the gifts and graces of the Spirit;
5) never would we unwittingly place in the hands of the adversary something that he might use to mock our Savior;
6) God will protect our family physically, morally and spiritually;
7) God will keep us faithful to the vision.
What is the vision for your life?
