Send Forth Laborers

It would be remiss to have a prayer guide authored by missionaries and not include a day focused on praying for the Lord to send more laborers into the harvest field. We have seen firsthand how there is so much work to be done in the nations of the earth and have felt the joy in being able to do our small part.

He needs Christ-followers who will plant seeds, ones who will water them, and then He will cause their growth.

The beauty of this is that, at the end of the day, the salvation of Muslims, or any nonbeliever, does not rest on our shoulders. God, and God alone, is the One who saves. Nevertheless, He delights in inviting those of us who already love Him into the process.

Romans 10 also speaks of the need for missionaries. How can people choose God if they do not know about Him? Many places and people groups on the earth have never heard the Good News. Despite the cultural and linguistic hurdles that non-indigenous missionaries face, and sometimes comedically blunder through, laborers remain needed. When done healthily, cross-cultural missions touch the unreached with the Gospel and come alongside the local Body of Christ, if present, to encourage and support it.

Prayer

Thank you, Lord, that there is a harvest to be found among the nations of the earth. I pray that You would call many more Christians to serve as full-time missionaries in a land that is not their own, particularly to people groups who are part of the Muslim world. Let hearts burn with passion for seeing the Lost receive the Gospel. Let them long for the fulfillment of the Great Commission, unto the return of Christ. I also pray, Lord, that You would provide every need and make every path clear for laborers to be sent forth into this harvest.
