MISSIONS
We are called to make Jesus known locally and globally. In Southern Maryland, we partner with local ministries that make known the love of Jesus. Across our state and country, we support church-planters and campus ministers. Across the world, we minister to those outside our borders, through short-term trips, internships, and partnership with our missionaries.
Missionaries of the Month
Roberta Brown Tom & Karen Mirabella
How you can be praying for them this month:
Prayer Requests:
Roberta Brown (MTW Missionary, Japan)
1. URGENT: My HMA is coming soon in 2026. So far, we have no one who is available to teach my ESL classes requiring us to close down the English program altogether. Please pray for more laborers for this harvest and more teachers to come.
2. Pray for God’s guidance about the English program. He has given us 33 good years for which I am thankful. Is it now time to close the doors?
3. Pray for the student’s salvation and for the opportunities they have to hear God’s word.
Tom & Karen Mirabella (MTW Missionary, Japan)
1. Pray for us in the midst of our HMA until February 2026. We are at a different church every weekend. Pray for good connections and rest in the midst of the travel, as well as support to come in.
2. Praise that our twins are settling into life at Covenant college well. Continue to pray for good life-long friendships to be built!
3. Pray for our 1st grandson, due in January. Pray for a safe, healthy pregnancy and delivery for mom and baby.
4. Pray for the Alive International church family. Pray for the leadership to have sustainability in their ministry.
5. Pray for wisdom, clarity and unity as we pray about what "empty nest" ministry can look like.
