“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
What is missionary prayer ministry?
This is a ministry of intercession to pray for missionaries, their ministries and their families.
It is a powerful opportunity for the church to connect and pray together for and with those who have dedicated their lives to vocational service to the Lord as well as those who are undertaking short-term missionary opportunities.

Testimonies
Missionary
“The room was full of people gathered for the sole purpose of praying for missionaries around the world. I had a sense that we had stepped into a war room for the Kingdom of God. The prayer guide we used helped us focus on key issues and to pray according to God’s will in the battle for the hearts of those who don’t know Christ. My wife and I were in a group of six, praying by name for the missionaries assigned to our group. The group also prayed for our family and ministry. What a sense of rising strength and encouragement this filled us with! We are one big step closer to being ready to return to the field in two months. The battle is the Lord’s! Thanks for this ministry to us and to the lost world! Keep it up!” - R. C.
Parent of a Missionary
“The impact of the prayer meetings for missionaries is almost indescribable to me. I have found comfort and joy in the knowledge that others are praying not only for field workers in general, but also for my son and his family specifically. The fact that others who are not related to my son take time from their own weekends to pray for him and his family and team is overwhelmingly humbling. I have cried and laughed; I have loved and been loved on. Each Sunday that I have been able to attend I have left the church seeing the world in a whole new light: God’s illumination of His love through His children!”
Parent of a Missionary
“I stand amazed at the goodness of people and their hearts. To hear our children and friends’ names called in prayer was a wonderful feeling. As a mother, you always pray for your child and his or her specific needs, but to just lift that child up using words from the bible was a great and wonderful feeling. I know that God was in our midst and that each of us were truly blessed.” ~ A. M.
Missionary Intercessor
“What an amazing time of prayer with 70 plus intercessors corporately praying for our faithful missionaries here and afar. Thank you, Lord, for those who came confident that You will answer according to Thy will. In addition to praying, we heard testimony from several missionaries at home stateside.How awesome it was to hear how, what seemed to be a disaster relief story, turn into a rescue for a pastor in prison in another country.
God orchestrated this event to totally change the direction of their ministry to train lay people to take the gospel to this country where the man was imprisoned. I was reminded how God answers our prayers with a much bigger perspective than I have. Once again He proved how “higher are His ways and His thoughts” than my own.
I praise God for those testimonies and how God used them to teach me to not only pray bigger, but expect the unexpected… How unsearchable His judgments and His paths beyond tracing out (Romans 11:33b).” - C. H.
