7 Ways to Pray for Your Journey Overseas (Free Printable Infographic!)

Reading Time: 2 minutes

When I headed overseas, I was drowning in cardboard boxes, spreadsheets of to-do’s, and fundraising meetings. So many, I was dreaming about it. Sometimes my ability to string two words together in a sentence was severely tested. I can’t answer any more questions, make any more lists, get one more shot, take one more ugly passport photo, remember one more word in a language I don’t use yet, or smile politely at one more person.

The chaos of the journey overseas has an ability to bring that whole verse to a new level, where “we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words” (Romans 8:26).

So to kick off 2019, we’re throwing an infographic at you for you to print out. (New Year, new infographic, that’s what we always say.) We hope it will offer you words when there are none.

Maybe you can print it and post it on a fridge or in a cabinet. Y’know, for as long as you still have a fridge or a cabinet. Maybe you can pray for one of these each day of the week. Maybe you can even print this for that friend, parent, or accountability partner who’s in your corner.

(Wanting to know more about the process of going? Check out our printable timeline infographic. We’ve got even more goodies on our Tools for Your Trip page.)

And know that we’re praying for you, too. Remember: His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence... (2 Peter 1:3).

Go with God.
