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.
“He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you will be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; you were called by him into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:8–9 CSB)
As I’ve been reading through 1 Corinthians this past week, it’s clear there was some serious transformation that needed to take place in the church in Corinth. The apostle Paul does not hold back when rebuke and correction are necessary. But he makes it clear in his greeting that he remains full of hope for the church. Though the church on earth is a long way from perfect, her destiny is glorious because of four powerful gospel realities:
- God is committed to preserving his church and providing her with all the strength she needs to persevere to the end.
- The church will be presented before Jesus faultless, blameless, radiant, and pure on the day he returns to claim his bride.
- God is faithful, even when we are faithless. So the present failures of the church are not the final story. God’s faithful love will ensure that his church around the world awakens to fresh mercies that are new every morning.
- Our faithful God has called us into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Because he is the head of his church, we can sing with confident hope:
The church shall never perish,
Her dear Lord to defend
To guide, sustain and cherish,
Is with her to the end
With this glad hope before us, let us pray that God would use WordPartners to serve the flourishing of Christ’s church in Southeast Asia and around the world!
- Pray for ongoing training efforts taking place in Northern Thailand with the mountainous people groups Lisu and Akha.
- Pray for pastors as they apply a recent training on 2 Timothy into their ministries in the Udon Thani region of Thailand.
- Pray for continued strength for Burmese pastors in Myanmar. Last year’s earthquake, and continued civil war continue to cause deep turmoil within the country.
