Kentucky WMU Prayer Partnership with
​NAME (North Africa and the Middle East) Affinity Group

​

Ways to Pray
Join the North African Middle Eastern (NAME) prayer email group to hear from the field and know how to pray for the salvation of the people in the NAME area. We have watched in awe over the years at how God is moving in the hearts of the NAME people groups, drawing them to Him. Be apart of this movement! 

NAME Affinity Group leaders produce a monthly calendar of prayer for the unreached peoples of NAME and its workers.  If you would like to receive NAME prayer requests by email, contact Stacy Nall at Kentucky WMU.  Please identify your church and association in the email.
 
Pray regularly for NAME countrie​s:

• Clip articles about NAME countries.
• Share information about NAME countries and news with your missions group, Sunday School class, prayer team, or other group.
• Pray for open doors for the gospel among NAME peoples.
• Pray for workers to have access to NAME countries and people.

 
Remember that NAME peoples may be found in many countries of the world, not just the geographic location normally associated with NAME. Pray for those who work with NAME peoples in many different places around the world.

​At the request of NAME leaders, Kentucky WMU Executive Board accepted a request to enter into a Prayer Partnership with NAME for three years, 2012-15.  The partnership was extended and we continue to pray and partner with NAME.

All Kentucky Baptists are invited to join us in what God is doing throughout NAME through this prayer partnership. ​
