I recently took a perspectives class through Zoom during
the pandemic. Most of the weekly speakers/instructors were seasoned missionaries that spent years serving or still actively served in countries which are hostile towards the gospel. The bulk of the people in those countries have yet to hear about Jesus. A common theme that resonated with these missionaries was that prayer is the pivotal tool in reaching these people and sustaining their ministries. These missionaries coveted intentional, consistent, and fervent prayer of believers and supporters as the most valued treasure on their behalf. As we try to reimagine Missions with the uncertainty of our future, one main constant that cannot be shut down is prayer.
