Prayer Calendar Key
National personnel serve in roles related to developing strategy and providing training and support other NAMB-endorsed personnel.
Global personnel serve in roles related to developing strategy and providing training and support other IMB-endorsed personnel.
Chaplains are endorsed by the SBC via NAMB but are not listed as they do not receive financial support through NAMB.
Volunteers are individuals who are not funded through SBC mission boards; they are self-funded. They are not listed here because of the inability to compile a complete list of these people, but they do need your prayers daily. The exception to this policy is the listing of self-funded missionaries who are affiliated with NAMB.
State Convention Missionaries are personnel not related to NAMB or IMB but who receive primary support through state conventions.
Note on NAMB missionary listings: Most NAMB-endorsed missionaries are considered as a couple, therefore the spouse is not listed separately. Some endorsed missionaries, husband/wife, both serve in a missionary role and will both be listed. Due to security reasons, some NAMB missionaries may choose to opt out of inclusion in the prayer calendar or some may request only their first name be used.
