"Some who demonstrate a passion for accurate doctrine, place a question mark over their love for God by evidencing no active love for lost sinners. This absence of missionary effort is appalling. Nevertheless, if being moved by compassion for sinners is essential, it is MORE essential to be moved more profoundly still by a love for God." (emphasis mine).
Walter Chantry
God,
We want to be motivated first and foremost by you and a desire to glorify your name.
As we consider this year's mission theme "Proclaiming Jesus - No Boundaries,"
help us to remember
your love, which is evidenced throughout history and seen in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus
and
your power, which cannot be contained by human hands or governments.
We pray that a culture of evangelism would grow in our church
that this would be demonstrated in the way we pray for our missionaries.
that this would be demonstrated in the way we pray for our family and friends.
and may these prayers and realizations of who you are move us to action.
Amen.
Go to our missionary page and click on the different missionaries to see how you can be praying for them.
