God has a part for you to play in mission, building His Church worldwide. No Christian worker, whether at home or overseas, can ‘go it alone’. Missionaries need the support of a team.

When you decide to pray regularly for someone, you join the team. Whether you pray, provide financial support, or work to plant churches, you are playing your part in world mission. As you pray, God uses your prayers to work out His purposes. Our prayers make a difference to the Sovereign Lord. They can make a difference in the world.

Missionaries work in a spiritual ministry and that involves a spiritual battle. Satan wants to hinder the expansion of the kingdom of God and it is imperative that there are praying people interceding on behalf of each missionary. Pray too that God will raise further workers to get involved in this needy world.

It takes discipline and commitment to pray for people who live in a place we know little about, who work in a language we don’t speak, who may eat breakfast while we’re going to bed, and who may not be back for some years. But they don’t stop being our brothers and sisters while they’re away.

Remember them. Pray for them everyday. Your prayers count.

‘The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field.’ Matthew 9:37-38
