Graham Staines - 22 January - Missionary and Martyr
Prayer -
Precious in thy sight, O Lord, is the death of Thy servants, whose faithful witness, by Thy providence, hath its great reward: We give Thee thanks for Thy martyr Graham Staines who purchased with his blood a hearing for the Gospel among the people of Orissa, India and for his wife, daughter and martyred sons, who shared with him in his work and witness; and we pray that with them we also may obtain the crown of righteousness which is laid up for all who love the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
