Pray for Missionaries Passage: Philippians 1:22-30, focus verse 27-28
If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again. Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.
Paul did not know what would happen to him. While he would have loved to see the believers in Philippi, he knew he likely would never leave Rome again. Therefore, he began to encourage the believers to carry on in their witness and in faithful living. He told them to “conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ” (vs.27). Even if they faced opposition, they should live without fear because they would be saved by God (vs. 28).
Living a life worthy of Christ, despite the attacks of bullies, family members, coworkers, or authorities, serves a purpose. Our lives offer a contrast to the lack of assurance nonbelievers hold. Pray you will live worthy of Christ, no matter what comes your way. Pray your life would draw others to Jesus. Pray missionaries’ lives would stand in stark contrast to the lost around them, drawing more to the kingdom.
Prayer Focus-Sub-Saharan African Peoples: Rapid urbanization is happening in many sub-Saharan African cities due to conflict in surrounding areas. Because of this, multiple unreached people groups are moving to cities or urban areas. Pray that those who work in cities will be able to access these unreached people groups and that more workers will come to help reach them with the good news of Jesus Christ.

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.
