One of the most important prayers we can pray for missionaries in active service is for their effectiveness in evangelizing the lost in the cultural context they’re in. We have the opportunity to pray that their efforts result in new believers. Asking in faith for our missionaries to have great success as they share the gospel with those who don’t have a saving knowledge and faith in Jesus Christ is one of the most sincere prayers we can offer to the Lord. It’s what our missionaries went to their ministry field to accomplish…the Great Commission. God the Father and all His angels rejoice when someone who was lost in unbelief comes to salvation. And it’s going to give any missionary great encouragement in his or her ministry. Let’s pray for that today… simply and directly and specifically… for your missionaries.
Prayer: Lord, You are the Father of all those who have faith in You, and that faith even comes from You… So we ask You, please grant that Your workers will be powerfully effective in all their evangelistic efforts. As they share Your truth and Your word with people who do not yet know You, please fill their human words with the power of the Holy Spirit, so that faith is produced in the hearts of their hearers.
