The missional prayer for this Sunday is for harvest workers (Matthew 9:35-38). We see in this scripture passage that a spiritual harvest is always preceded by two movements: first, a movement of compassion; and second, a movement of prayer. Jesus modeled this for us by seeing the physical and spiritual needs of people, feeling their pain, and doing something about it. When believers go to the places where there are lost and hurting people, we too are moved by compassion to pray for them. God uses us to be part of the harvest, as we witness lives transformed by the gospel of Christ.
February is Missions Month at BVBC. Our focus this month is on the vital role of intercessory prayer in the work of missions through the local and global church. Each week in February, we will study a missional prayer and have a dedicated time of prayer in the service using that week's prayer as a guide.
