Much of Europe (and the world) is claiming to have no religious affiliation, and the bad numbers are growing each year. Those who do claim to be Christians often do not meet together regularly, nor do they understand that following Jesus is more than having someone bless a birth, marriage and death. The Good News (gospel) is much more than a “get out of hell” ticket. Pray for hearts to be open to not only accept Jesus, follow Him to experience joy and peace in Him for this life and the one to come.
Prayer: Dear Lord, you gave your Son to reconcile the whole world to yourself. (John 3:16) But, most of the world continues to live in darkness. Father, please keep our missionaries encouraged and focused on sharing your “Good News” to a world that needs your hope. (Mark 15:16) Open the hearts of all they come in contact with to “have ears to hear” and “eyes to see” your goodness. (Ezekiel 12:2) Give missionaries your words to draw the communities in which they serve to you. Open hearts, Lord, to not just accept you as savior, but serve you as Lord.
