5 Ways to Pray for NT participants.

1. FOCUS ON GOD. Pray that the summer missionaries will remain focused on his/her relationship with God. That the NT participants’ relationship with Jesus Christ be their first priority and their motivation for sharing the saving gospel message. The team members will have much vying for their attention as they are immersed in a new culture and surrounded by a different set of beliefs.

2. TEAM UNITY. The testimony of the team as a whole is an illustration of the how the Body of Christ works and cooperates together- please ask God for team unity in the NT. You don’t have to understand the language to see that there is fighting and discord. Pray that as the team works together as one body and brings glory to their Father in Heaven through their actions.

3. HUMILITY. Please pray that as they minister to the lost that they follow the example of Jesus Christ. In humility and love that they are able to demonstrate the gospel to the communities they are serving in. Pray that they see the differences in culture as what they are, a different way of life. Pray that they be respectful and patient with their host culture.

4. BOLDNESS. Please pray for the NT participants that they will boldly proclaim the truth of the gospel without fear.

5. LISTEN TO GOD. Please ask God that the participants have ears to hear God, and that they remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s moving.
