Welcome to Kontaktmission USA’s 40 Day Prayer Journey! You may be wondering… what is this whole thing and what does it entail? So, we’ll try to sum it up quickly... We are taking the next 40 days to pray 40 different topics over our missionaries. That’s where YOU come in. Many of you are already supporting an individual missionary or missionary family through your prayers and/or giving. We would like to ask you to spend some serious time the next 40 days praying about some very specific requests and praises for those missionaries.
Each day we will have a prayer topic and a short 1-2 paragraph devotional that goes along with it. There will also be occasional videos and testimonials from our staff and fellow missionaries. We want this to be as specific as possible, both for you and for the missionary you have in mind. (For a few of the days, we will also suggest other prayer topics that are more general, and not specific for your missionary.)
Why 40 days? When was the last time you prayed for missions ministry and missionaries for 40 full days? Better yet, when was the last time you came up with 40 different topics to pray over the missionary you support? The Lord is very clear when He says, “Pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17).” We are to pray with bold expectation and with confidence, knowing that the Lord hears the prayers of His people and lives to intercede for them and answer them according to His will (Rom. 8:26-27; Heb. 4:16).
We now have an amazing opportunity in the next month and 10 days to lift up holy hands to the Lord for missionaries who are taking the gospel to an unbelieving world. If you don’t have a missionary in mind yet, you’re always welcome to contact me at clay@GoKMUSA.org, and I’ll give you some suggestions. Or, pick one yourself from our list… Many of our missionaries and national workers are listed on our website at Our missionaries - Kontaktmission USA. (Don’t be alarmed if your friend’s/missionary’s page isn’t there. This list is growing daily.)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray for (YOUR MISSIONARY HERE). I pray that for the next 40 days You would show Yourself to be mighty and faithful. Help me to be faithful and fervent in my prayers for (YOUR MISSIONARY). May they know and feel the presence of Your Holy Spirit in vibrant ways. And I ask that You would answer the prayers of Your praying people. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen!
