### Support and Pray for Our Missionaries

### Intercessory Prayer



Every Tuesday a group gathers on campus to pray for the nations. Anyone is welcome to join!


Time: 4pm

Place: MSU International Center Food Court

Contact: [**Katie Middlestead**](mailto: kmiddlestead@urcstaff.org)

### Are you called to missions?



As a local church we want to encourage and support you if you feel the Lord is calling you to long-term missions. We’re hoping to gather every month with a group who is exploring this call. Contact [**Kevin McAlvey**](mailto: kmcalvey@urcstaff.org) if you’d like to join this group.



### Planning to go on a short-term trip?



We believe short-term trips can be a great way to discern one’s calling to long-term missions. We are eager to partner with you in your trip. Contact [**Nick**](mailto: nick@urcstaff.org) if you’d like to talk with the missions committee about partnering with your trip.
