Pray for Missions

Are you looking for ways to challenge your congregation to pray for missions beyond the Week of Prayer emphasis?

We have a variety of opportunities and experiences to keep prayer priority.

Prayer is essential for people who live on mission to be bold in their witness and effective in doing missions. Prayer links believers with missions efforts around the world and recognizes that divine resources are essential to effective missions work. Upholding missions efforts with prayer includes praying for missions work being done by a church, missions entities to which a church relates, and missions partners both locally and globally. It also includes praying for people who have not yet been reached with the gospel.
