Have you ever asked the question:

“How can I pray effectively for missionaries?’

1. Pray for peace with other believers (Acts 13:13).

Satan attacks from all angles, both inside and outside. Pray for

peace within families, in marriages, with children, and with

companions and ministry partners.

2. Pray for favor with unbelievers (Acts 13:14-15).

Non believers are blind to the gospel, and many are violently op-

posed to its message. Pray that missionaries would find favora-

ble opportunities to share the gospel with them.

3. Pray that the gospel will be clear through them (Acts 13:16-

47).

Although cross-cultural communication is difficult, pray that

missionaries, by grace, would clearly communicate the charac-

ter of God, the sinfulness of man, the sufficiency of Christ, the

necessity of faith, and the urgency of eternity.

4. Pray that God will open hearts around them (Acts 13:48).

God alone draws people to himself. Pray that he will open

hearts and minds to believe and be drawn to eternal life with

Christ.
