“‘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 that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:19–20
Read Matthew 28:19–20
Jesus, you commissioned us to make disciples of all the nations. We ask that you would work mightily through the 33 church planters in India with whom we are partnered. We pray against Satan, his demons, his works and effects. Safeguard these pastors as they seek to shepherd your flock in other cultures. Give me a heart to see the opportunities you have given me to share the gospel with people from other cultures in my workplace and on my street.
Lord, thank you for these workers who are planting churches for your glory. Protect them; keep them safe from harm as they make you known. Planting a church is exhausting and difficult work. Give these church planters and their families good health and endurance for the work you have given them.
What is my role in giving you to the world, Jesus? Help me to consider where you have me right now and the people you have put into my path, especially those from cultures and worldviews that vary from my own. Even if I’m not planting a church, you have called me to be active in spreading the gospel to the world. Give me your heart for the people around me, regardless of our differences.
Amen.
