Not just health issues, but missionaries tend to face mental and emotional stressors, as well as the obvious spiritual attacks. Their health also is often in need.
Lord, help those in unfamiliar towns, cities, and nations to be healthy. Stretch out Your healing hand over those who are suffering illness and injury, empowering them to remain faithful. If necessary, keep them safe until they heal or come home to family and friends. Empower your servants to reach the lost, in Your name.
Daniel

Good thoughts here.

Over the years we see the increase hostility of the secular leftists against Christianity. I remember sometime ago I wrote “Anti-Christian latest intolerance: Swiss Christian Chocolate Company.” I thought I share some thoughts related to this from an apologetics dimension with how this version of tolerance pushed by the elites today is intellectually bullet ridden.
