Pray for Missionaries Passage: Jonah 3:5-10, focus verse 5
And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
Read Jonah 3:5-10
We can easily get overwhelmed by the changes in culture. Deep division has grown as groups staunchly refuse to call sin, sin. In Nineveh, people agreed about sin. Everyone participated. Violence and immorality reigned. Yet God loved them. He sent them a message of repentance.
Even though he was a reluctant preacher, Jonah was finally obedient to go. Although we do not know what his attitude was as he walked through that city, we do know God used him to change the direction of the entire society.
God does not reach out to people because they deserve notice. He does not use us because we are perfect. Our imperfections point to His perfect love and holiness all the more clearly. Fully grasping the compassion He has for us is a difficult task. We are unworthy, but He is very gracious to love us. Lord, help us become more willing to follow wherever You lead, even if at first it seems an unpleasant place.
Prayer Focus: Sub-Saharan African Peoples. For many sub-Saharan Africans, coming out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of light is followed by intense spiritual warfare. Pray that as new believers grow in their faith and knowledge of who God is, they will be well supported by other believers. The road can often be very lonely for those who are the first of their village or people group to come to faith. Pray that new believers would stand firm and not be discouraged.

Missions Through WMU and WOM
The mission of God is a thread woven throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. God makes it clear His desire is for all people to know Him and follow Him. The Bible helps us understand God’s mission and know how Christians are to be involved in His mission.
God issued the mandate for us to be involved in missions through the Great Commission. Our choice is how to be involved. WMU and WOM offers many opportunities for giving and hands-on service missions projects.
