Praying for missionaries on their birthdays has been a longstanding tradition in Southern Baptist life.
Missionaries throughout the years have expressed appreciation knowing that they are being prayed for specifically on their birthday. Some even wait until their birthdays to make big decisions know that Southern Baptists are praying for them.
While not everyone is called to be a career missionary, all believers can support missions efforts through prayer.
Join us as we pray daily for our Southern Baptist missions personnel using this missionary prayer calendar.

Prayer Calendar Key
The North American Mission Board serves a diverse and complex region comprised of: United States, Canada, and US territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa.
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.
