It has been great hearing how some people have kept their prayer diary from last year and used it every month to pray specifically for missions.<\/p>\n<p>Why not as individuals, couples, or families spend time every day praying for our missionaries? You could also arrange to meet up with friends to specifically pray for Peru once or twice this month at a time and place that suits you.<\/p>\n<p>Our social media pages will contain more information on different missionaries in Peru. These will give you a greater insight into the missionaries&#8217; lives and their work which will then help us to pray more specifically for them.<\/p>\n<p>On a <em>Tuesday evening,<\/em> we will provide recommendations for missions\u2019 prayer subscriptions, podcasts and books that you can use, not only in March.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>CB:Kids<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>CB:Kids have organised a virtual bedtime missionary story for <em>every Thursday night<\/em> in March, we are sure that both kids and adults will enjoy these again this year.<\/p>\n<p>We hope March Missions encourages you all.
