Partner in Prayer

Thank you for joining us in prayer!

Each month we’ll update this page with new requests. We invite you to come back regularly to find other ways you can pray for our partners and ministry around the world.

Matthew 6:31-33 – “Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

“What do you want for Christmas?”

As a child, that question filled me with excitement as I imagined the gifts that might appear under the tree. Even as an adult, there is still a bit of that child in me — yet what I desire most can’t be wrapped in paper or tied with a bow. I long for Jesus to fill my mind and heart with his peaceful presence, to draw my whole family deeper into his fellowship, to lead our church in paths of righteousness, and to gather the nations under his gracious and sovereign rule.

What does it really mean to “seek first the kingdom of God”? I love how the apostle Paul describes that kingdom: “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Rom. 14:17). Could there be better gifts to ask for this Christmas than these?

• Righteousness — flowing from our right standing with God through faith in Jesus Christ, and producing the alignment of our thoughts, desires, and actions with his perfect will (Luke 1:74–75).
  
• Peace — because all is well with our souls now that we’ve been reconciled to the Father through the blood of Jesus; he is the God of peace who guides our feet in the way of peace and is able to give peace at all times and in every circumstance (Rom. 5:1, 10; Luke 1:79; 2 Thess. 3:16).
  
• Joy in the Holy Spirit — because the Spirit assures us that our names are written in heaven, and that nothing we experience on earth can keep us from seeing Jesus face-to-face and receiving the outcome of our faith, the salvation of our souls (Luke 10:20; 1 Pet. 1:8–9).

Jesus is God’s promised King who comes to make these blessings flow far as the curse is found, overturning the ravages of sin and restoring broken hearts to his Father. Let every heart prepare him room! For all of us who have received God’s indescribable gift in Christ, may this season overflow with gratitude for the blessings already ours in him. And as we move into a new year, may God grant us grace to seek afresh his kingdom and his righteousness as our supreme desire.

Please join us in prayer this month for the work that is being done to manage the resources God entrusts to us for his glory and for the joy of his church in all the nations. 

• Pray that God would raise up 130 new monthly financial partners in 2026.
• Praise God for stewardship wisdom he has given to our staff to use the resources of the ministry effectively and frugally throughout 2025.
• Pray that our staff would continue to have God’s heart of stewardship as they direct the resources of the ministry throughout their different regions and departments in 2026.
• Pray for our support staff to have the strategic wisdom and energy to work joyfully and efficiently as they serve our trainers and partners. 
• Pray for sustainable gospel partnerships both here in the states and around the world.

Please also pray that the Lord will work powerfully through upcoming workshops:

• Cuba Advanced and Core Training, November 30-December 7
• Romania Core Training, December 1-8

We look forward to seeing how God will answer these prayers in the coming days!
