- Praying for Bible Teachers Throughout the Year Guide by Ministry Tools Resource Center
While this resource is intended for prayer support teams or individuals committed to praying for Bible teachers, it could also be used by teachers to help guide them in how to pray for their teaching as well. At minimum, it could be given to teachers as a source of encouragement for how others are praying for them. This resource includes a one page guide for each month with requests that could be used each day of the month. Each month's requests center around a theme related to a topic that begins with the same first letter as that month.
