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.
Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. (Colossians 1:28 ESV)
In this succinct verse, the apostle Paul gives us his mission statement in a nutshell.
Him we proclaim: Christ, who is preeminent over all things, is the sum and substance of our ministry. His name, above all names, deserves to be exalted in our hearts and extolled by our tongues as long as he gives us breath. It’s all about Christ!
Him we proclaim: we have good news about the victory of a King over all his and his people’s enemies. He has triumphed over sin, death, and hell. This is a message that needs to be heralded for all to hear—and it demands a response.
Warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom: People are in peril if they do not hear and heed the message of Christ. We are culpable if we don’t sound the alarm, and people need to be instructed in the truth for the edification of their lives. The Christian faith is a comprehensive revelation from God of the Living Word, preserved in the written word, for our instruction. Jesus left his disciples with a mandate to teach the nations all that he has commanded.
That we may present everyone mature in Christ: This is why we do what we do. No matter how long we’ve lived the Christian life, there’s always more for us to learn, to experience, and to grow into, until we finally stand with Christ in glory. Then we will be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
