“So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11)
There is life-changing power in hearing or reading the Word of God in your heart language. One of the keys to making disciples worth multiplying is to get them deep into the Word early and often. Father, thank You for funding that provides Bibles and audio Bibles in the heart language of people being engaged with the Gospel. Father, thank You for prompting 3400 people in a Muslim majority Middle Eastern country to download the Bible in their heart language because of social media ads. Thank You for the twenty engaged in spiritual conversation messages. Father, continue to bring seekers to click on ads and connect them with local believers to start disciple making.
Team Expansion Worker
Join Betty Byrd (International Services) in praising God for 5342 new baptisms and 2837 new groups during the past year. He has raised up a total of 9,126 simple churches worldwide with over 92,000 believers regularly attending. In at least 18 locations, the growth is happening so rapidly, it would now be described as a movement of God. Pray that each of these new believers will abide in Christ, pray extraordinarily, sow seeds abundantly, and make more disciples.
Pray for More Workers
Lord of the Harvest, thank You for being Sovereign in translation projects. Send out more translators and connect them with dependable local people for help in the language. Send out more disciple makers to connect with local believers and seekers to pray, share, and train.
