Ways to Pray for World Missions

• Pray for the national churches

Whether underground or free, all countries have a body of believers that represent Christ. Pray for the national churches of each country, that they would be unified and cling to truth, that they would send men and women to reach their brothers and sisters within their country.

• Pray for mobilizers

A major reason that people do not go into missions is they do not realize the need, especially within their own communities. Mobilization is the ministry of informing others about the need for missions that they might go. Pray for more laborers! Pray that national churches would understand the need in their communities and regions.

• Pray for Bible translators

There are nearly 2000 people groups that do not have a verse of Scripture translated into their language. Pray for ongoing translation projects and those who are faithfully translating Scripture into these languages. Pray for the national translators and the many people who assist in the translation process. Pray for the funds to complete Bible translation projects. Pray for those in the process of learning language and culture.

• Pray for cross-cultural workers

Pray for the cross-cultural workers or missionaries that leave their home countries to go to the far to reach places. Pray that they would be encouraged through God’s Word, pray that they would find ways to continue partnering with the national church, pray for their families that sent them, and pray for their physical and mental health.

• Pray for the governments

The governments whose borders contain the most unreached people groups can help or hinder the spread of the Gospel. Pray for the relationships between the government and the national churches. Pray for the visas and paper work needed for cross-cultural workers.

• Pray for the unreached

Pray for those who have not yet heard the Gospel, or who have had limited exposure to it. Pray that there would be people who go to reach them, pray that their hearts would be open. Pray that the Gospel would make an impact in their communities and that a church built upon God’s Word would be established.

• Pray for justice

A major hindering factor in the spread of the Gospel is the presence of injustice and corruption. Factors like this can hinder the ability of the national church and cross-cultural workers to reach the unreached. Pray for the refugees that have been displaced and the countries that now shelter them. Pray for the persecuted: both believers and unbelievers.

Unreached people groups are all over the world. Pray with us for these countries and people below
