“Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.”

- Ephesians 6:19

An effective prayer is what is most needed than anything else for a missionary, a pastor or an evangelist, who is in the frontline missionary work. Wesley Duewell suggests the following ways to pray for those who are in the forefront areas. Firstly, pray that they should be able to meet the challenges and prove that Christ is a loving God and that He answers prayers. Secondly, pray that Christ should be manifested powerfully in these areas. Our prayer can help shake untold numbers of people and places for Christ, spiritually. (Acts 4:29-30) Thirdly, since Satan tries in every possible way to afflict workers in these pioneer ministries with discouragement and temptation, pray that the Lord should keep the Christian workers spiritually victorious and empowered by the Holy Spirit. Fouthly, pray for God’s protection for the Christian workers. Satan becomes very angry with those whom God is using. He makes them the special target of his attacks. Pray that the Lord would protect them both spiritually and physically, that they should be free from fear of threats against them and their families.

Dear friends, too often we are accustomed to praying, ”O Lord, bless me, bless my family” type of prayers. Let us come out of this narrow circle and extend our prayers beyond this. Let us pray with great burden for God’s servants who are toiling for the extension of His kingdom in remote places. They need our prayer partnership for effective ministry. Shall we offer ourselves to pray for them?

PRAYER: Lord, I remember all the missionaries in unresponsive and difficult areas. Protect them from the fiery darts of Satan. Empower them by Your Holy Spirit. Perform great miracles through them so that they will prove that Jesus is the loving God. Guard them from all temptations. Amen
