As believers, we need to be
increasingly praying outward, God-centered prayers; that is, prayers that align with the mission of God
in the world, to introduce people to Jesus Christ and help them follow Him. The scripture verses in Colossians 4:2-4 provide us with four traits of a missional prayer life. First, prioritize prayer. Second, pray for gospel opportunities. Third, pray for gospel clarity. Fourth, don't waste gospel circumstances. Missional prayers are the fuel for missions in our community, in our country, and across the globe.
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.
