HOW TO PRAY FOR MISSIONARIES
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.”
II Corinthians 6:10
Our Global Prayer Team is a vital part of our mission and vision at Go To Nations. Prayer is essential to undergirding every great move of God in the harvest fields around the globe. We are in a defining moment in history when the eternal destinies of people, cities, and nations lie in the balance. The Great Commission is at stake.
Most of our prayers are focused on the needs of our Go To Nations missionary families and their many projects. However, we do spend time as a prayer team on strategic intercession for serious, global issues like extremist attacks on churches, volcano eruptions, devastating earthquakes, civil unrest, cyclones, and yes, pandemics.
Our Intercessors and prayer warriors press in on their knees to see circumstances, and even nations, shift to God’s heart and purposes. Supporting our teams and projects with prayer is essential ministry! Our prayer team has a heart for the global harvest and a call to pray for missionaries around the world.
If this sounds like your heart too, we invite you to begin praying for missionaries who are serving in the nations equipping laborers for the harvest, while enduring challenges and hardships to expand the kingdom of God in the earth. Go To Nations President, Dr. Jerry Williamson, wrote this simple prayer to pray for our missionaries. Would you take a moment and pray it right now?
Dear Lord, please make Go To Nations a ministry of:
The right people, in the right places, doing the right things, at the right time, with the right heart, with an abundance of resources, experiencing eternal results!
Thank you, Lord. To you be all the glory. Amen!
