WEEK SIX - ALLIANCE MISSIONS
The work of the U.S. Alliance spills out all over this world. This week we stand with our international workers as we intercede on their behalf. We will also cry out to the Lord for the unreached people groups that still do not understand who Jesus is and have never had a clear witness of His gospel. Pray that this will be a year when the light of Jesus shines brightly in the darkest places of our world.
DAY THIRY-NINE - NEW WORKERS TO BE RAISED UP BY STACY DOUGLAS
And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
- Matthew 24:14
The Joshua Project estimates that more than 40 percent of the world’s people groups have no indigenous community of believing Christians able to evangelize their own people. This is heartbreaking and stirs within me an urgency to appeal to the Church to pray.
Please join me in interceding for more workers to be called, equipped, and sustained in their calling so that we can complete Christ’s commission for the gospel to be “preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations” (Matt. 24:14). I invite you to join me today in praying the following.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Pray that many new workers will be called to provide the least reached with access to the gospel. As Jesus said, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field” (Lk. 10:2).
2. Pray that those called will intentionally “wait in their Jerusalem” until they receive the empowerment from the Holy Spirit to be effective witnesses, bringing Christ’s presence into every situation and place they enter (see Acts 1:4–8).
3. Pray that our new workers will be sustained in their journeys through an ever-deepening relationship with Christ—that even “As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; . . . go[ing] from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion” (Ps. 84:5–7).
