Psalm 72:8-9

O Lord, we pray for the missionaries who carry Your truth to the nations of

lick the dust.

will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also, and him who has no
helper.

because they desire to walk in Your paths. For Your law goes forth from Your
true church, and Your word from Your true people.

Habakkuk 2:18-20
|
O Lord, we pray for missionaries who bring to the nations of the world the
truth about You, the living and true God, and about the Christ, who is the
Savior of the world. For what profit, O Lord, is there in an image,
that its maker should carve it or mold it as a mute idol? For we know, O Lord,
that such idols are teachers of lies. We pity, O Lord, those who say to
wood, "Awake!" or to silent stone, "Arise! It shall teach!"
For even when an idol is overlaid with gold and silver, yet in it there is
no breath at all. But You, O Lord, are in Your holy temple. Let all the
earth, O Lord, keep silence before You in awe and wonder.
|
|
Zephaniah 3:9

O Lord, we pray for the coming of Your kingdom through the work of Your
missionaries. O Lord, use their preaching of Your gospel message to reverse
the division of peoples which dates back to the tower of Babel.
Bring into Your kingdom, O Lord, people from every nation, tribe and tongue,
and restore to them a pure language, that they all may call on Your name,
O Lord, to serve You with one accord.
|
|

O Lord of the harvest, we pray today that You will send out laborers into
Your harvest.
|
|
Matthew 13:31-32
|
O Lord, we pray that You will bless the work of Your faithful missionaries

discipled. May Your kingdom in this world be as the mustard seed,
which begins as the smallest seed but becomes the largest plant in the
garden.
|
|
Matthew 13:33
|
O Lord, we pray for the missionary work of discipling the nations to the

it is all leavened.

flock, even though they are scattered among the nations of the world.

preaching of Your word to open the eyes of the unreached peoples of the
world,
in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to
You, the only living and true God, that they may receive forgiveness of
sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in You.
|
|
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
|
Bless those, O Lord, who bring the message of Jesus to those around the world
who are perishing in their sins. Remove the veil of unbelief from those
whose minds the god of this age has blinded.
Remove the veil from their eyes, O Lord, and cause the light of the gospel
of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, to shine upon them to the
saving of their souls.

Lord, we pray for Your blessing on our efforts to bring the gospel to those
who are perishing in their sins. Use us and those we support, O Lord, to
bring those who are perishing Your gospel message. Through Your word and Your
Spirit,
O Lord, deliver them from the devil, the god of this age, who has blinded
their minds in unbelief. Shine on them, O Lord, the light of the gospel of
the glory of Christ, who is Your image, and cause the scales to fall from
their eyes.
|
|
Ephesians 2:12-19
|
We pray for Your missionaries, O Lord, that they may reach the lost of the
world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray, O Lord, for those who are
aliens from Your people and strangers from the covenants of promise,
those who have no hope and are without You, the Lord God, in the world.
O Lord, by the blood of Christ, bring those who are far off near to
Yourself so that they are no longer strangers and foreigners
but instead fellow citizens with the saints and members of Your household.
|
|
Ephesians 6:19
|
O Lord, we pray for Your missionaries, especially those whom we support with
our finances so that they may continue to minister in Your name in distant
places. Give them the right words
that they may open their mouths boldly to make known the mystery of the
gospel, for which they are ambassadors. Enable them to speak boldly as they
ought to speak.
|
|

|

to the teaching of Jesus.
Open to them doors for the word in every land that they may speak the
mystery of Christ and make it manifest to every nation, tribe and tongue of the
world.

|
1 Timothy 2:3-6
|
We pray, O Lord, that You will bless all efforts to reach the world with the
gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We know that our prayers for
missions are good and acceptable in Your sight, O Lord,
because You desire all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the
truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man
Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all.
