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.
“… to preach … the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God … so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known …” (Ephesians 3:8-10)
If you took a calculator and tried to add up the riches of Christ, there wouldn’t be enough room for the digits on the screen.
If you took a sounding line and tried to fathom the ocean of Christ’s riches, it would be bottomless.
If you took a telescope and tried to see the galaxies of his riches, no finely tuned instrument could take you far enough to even get beyond the outskirts of his ways.
These riches aren’t just vast. They’re meant to be put on display so the world can behold “the manifold wisdom of God.” Interestingly, that’s the same word the Greek translation of the Old Testament uses to describe Joseph’s coat of many colors. God’s wisdom is multicolored, it’s brilliant and resplendent.
How is God putting his wisdom on display? Paul points to the church as Exhibit A. Our unity from every tribe, tongue, and nation, and our love for one another, show the world that Jesus accomplished something through his cross that no human scheme could achieve. The church is a movie trailer for the new creation — a glimpse, for a world aching for reconciliation, of where history is heading under the wise and gracious plan of our sovereign God.
Let’s pray that the Lord would give his church in Asia a great delight in the unsearchable riches of Christ as they make known the manifold wisdom of God to their neighbors and to the nations.
Please also pray that the Lord will work powerfully through upcoming workshops around the world:
We look forward to seeing how God will answer these prayers in the coming days!
