// Today is Sanctity of Life Sunday. Here are a few things you can be praying for from @speak4theunborn . Pray for all life to be valued and supported around the world. . Pray for your church's pro-life ministries: sidewalk counseling, pregnancy resource centers, adoption ministries, foster care ministries, human trafficking ministries, refugee ministries—any of the avenues in which your church stands for the sanctity of life. . Pray for the gospel to reach abortion-minded individuals, and that many who were once considering abortion would be saved and choose life. . Pray for abortion clinics to be shut down around the world, and for abortion workers to be saved and find jobs in other medical fields that preserve life instead of end it.

// Adoniram Judson holds a preeminent place in the history of missions. His endurance through numerous trials reminds us of the way God often uses suffering to advance the gospel. The Judsons were frequently acquainted with sickness, suffering, and death throughout the almost forty years spent in Burma, which is now the nation of Myanmar. His commitment to evangelism continues to inspire. Finally, Adoniram’s translation work—his most important legacy—continues to reap gospel fruit in Myanmar and serve as an example for countless missionaries the world over. - @imbmissions

// William Carey was raised in a small, rural English town where he received almost no formal education. His chief source of income came through his work as a cobbler (a shoemaker). But he went to India with a vision for discipling the nation. He looked outward across the land and asked himself, “If Jesus were the Lord of India, what would it look like? What would be different?” He carried out a systematic survey of agriculture and campaigned for agriculture reform. He  introduced the idea of savings banks to India. He was the first to campaign for humane treatment of India’s leprosy victims because he believed that Jesus’ love extends to leprosy patients, so they should be cared for. He established the first newspaper ever printed in any Oriental language. He translated the Bible into over 40 different Indian languages. He began dozens of schools for Indian children of all castes and launched the first college in Asia. William Carey was a pioneer of the modern Christian missionary movement, a movement that has since reached every corner of the world. Although a man of simple origins, he used his God-given genius and every available means to serve his Creator and illumine the dark corners of India with the light of the truth.

// The only people whose soul can truly magnify the Lord are...people who acknowledge their lowly estate and are overwhelmed by the condescension of the magnificent God. -John Piper

// Love gives, even at great cost to itself. This is a verse we can always look at to test the genuine nature of our love - a word that we can so often take lightly. And it’s an area in which we are constantly striving to grow, to have a love that better reflects Jesus. So thankful for this season and the time to pause and reflect on the perfect love of God, and how it’s displayed through His Son.
