Let us come together in prayer for this missionary endeavor. We are reminded in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen."
Firstly, we notice that the request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. The Bible makes it clear in Acts 4:12 "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved."
So let us pray together in Jesus' name, "Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, lifting up our ### and the entire mission team. We pray for their safety and protection as they embark on this journey to spread the Good News. 'The Lord shall preserve you from all evil. He shall preserve your soul.' Psalm 121:7
We also lift up the families of these missionaries, asking that You provide comfort, strength, and peace in their absence. 'Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is he who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.' Deuteronomy 31:6
Lord, we ask that You prepare the hearts of those who will hear the Gospel message through this mission. Let there be pure motives in the mission and let them all be seeking only Your glory. Open the eyes and ears of the people to receive the truth of Your Word. 'So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' Romans 10:17
Finally, we pray that this mission will be a beacon of light, drawing many to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.' John 3:16
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
May this prayer be a source of encouragement and strength for you and you are with us in prayer for this mission. We stand together in faith, believing that God will do great things through this missionary journey.
