Pray for IMB Missionary Jeri Whitfield

Today, we are on day 5 of our 7 days of prayer for International Mission Board missionaries. Previously, we prayed for Paul Yount and Willie Brown who serve in StoryOne Camps in Africa, Tim and Annie Tidenberg who serve in a pastoral care ministry in West Africa, Don and Pam Lynch who serve in a unique Coffee Bike ministry in Belgium, and Eric and Ramona Reese who serve as church planters in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Today, we are asked to pray for Jeri Whitfield who serves in Thailand. As a young 22 year old Journeyman, Jeri knew she wanted to focus on a longterm relationship with the people she would serve while providing access to the Gospel and changing the lives of people who need the Lord.

Jeri has served in missionary work for 40 years, returning to Thailand three times. She recently visited a "spirit doctor" in Thailand who has heard the Gospel message, but has not entered into a personal relationship with Jesus. Jeri is committed to reaching the "spirit doctor" and others like him so that they may know Jesus. Sometimes she travels into remote areas.

Ways to Pray for Jeri Whitfield

1. Pray for Jeri’s health and safety as she continues to serve in Thailand and travel to remote areas for missionary work.

2. Pray for Jeri’s efforts to connect with those in Thailand, that they would know Jesus through her words and deeds.

3. Pray for the “spirit doctor” and the people like him whom Jeri has encountered over her time of service in Thailand, that they may come to know the love of Jesus Christ.
