Turning to the book of Acts, Luke presents a tapestry of prayer woven into the fabric of every missionary endeavor. From the Upper Room to the ends of the earth, prayer permeates the narrative, guiding, empowering, and transforming the lives of believers. In Acts 1, the disciples gathered in unity, devoting themselves to prayer as they awaited the promise of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 4, Peter and John boldly petitioned God for divine enablement in the face of persecution. In Acts 13, the Antioch church’s fasting and prayer resulted in Barnabas and Saul's commissioning for the missions. The most profound testament to the power of prayer in missions is seen in the life of the apostle Paul. A vibrant prayer life sustained Paul throughout his missionary journeys—a lifeline connecting him to God’s inexhaustible grace and strength.
