What's HTR?

 HTR- is a 15 minute class at the Missionary Training Center where  all the students get together and pray for some of the things God's doing around the world.













How do they know what's going on? Well, somebody tells them. Each week, a different person is sent a couple of letters and they make a quick presentation at the beginning of the prayer time so everybody knows how to pray.

And how does that person get the letters? Well, the gals in the Hold the Ropes Office send out the letters to them. We schedule whose turn it is to speak, and read all the letters that come in from missionaries around the world. It's so amazing to read letters everyday about what God is doing around the world. He is up to some awesome awesome things!

Of course we get a LOT of letters, and we can't possibly pray for all of them in class, though we pray for them in office. So we print all the letters and put them in the classroom, and each student takes a letter and prays for that letter. We encourage the students to write to the missionary whose letter they prayed for. And every week we write all the people who got prayed for in class and let them know. Sometimes God's timing with those prayers is incredible!
