Partner with North American Ministries for Pre-Thankgiving Days of Prayer, November 18-22.
The following daily prayer guide will help you pray intentionally for different areas of ministry leading up to the November 24 Missions North America Offering. As you pray, we hope you are encouraged by what God is doing through His people.
Monday, November 18
Be encouraged by the dedication of NAM church planters.
Across North America, NAM church planters continue to demonstrate exceptional dedication to the Lord. Even in challenging fields, these planters are cultivating congregations of believers committed to discipleship, outreach, and service. Ask God to continue blessing their ministries, their families, and their communities. Pray He will provide increasing opportunities to reach others with the hope of Jesus and call more church planters into this important ministry.
Tuesday, November 19
Be encouraged by the reach of NAM cross-cultural ministries. Multi-cultural ministry is thriving through the work of NAM’s cross-cultural church planters and English-speaking congregations partnered with them to reach countless individuals coming to America from around the world. Pray for NAM’s current team of Spanish-speaking pastors and their congregations. Ask the Lord to grow these ministries and pray He will provide the needed resources, workers, and opportunities for these ministries to fulfill their calling to diverse people groups and cultures.
Wednesday, November 20
Be encouraged by the service of FWB chaplains.
Our service members sacrifice each day to keep our country safe and free. Military chaplains and their families know these sacrifices well. In addition to serving our country, they also serve as ambassadors for Christ, proclaiming the gospel at home and around the world. Pray for our FWB chaplains and their families as they fulfill God’s mission for their lives. Ask God to bless them with peace, strength, safety, and encouragement to face the challenges before them.
Thursday, November 21
Be encouraged by new Christian leaders.
Through the ministry of the NAM Hispanic Bible Institute, over 50 mission works have been started, and 380 graduates now minister across the U.S. and in Latin America. The first group of students to enroll in the Hispanic Institute since its relocation to Parkers Chapel in Greenville, North Carolina, started classes in August. Pray for these new students and their instructors. Ask God to use the institute to help them grow in their faith and knowledge of the Lord, so they can build the Kingdom wherever He leads them.
Friday, November 22
Be encouraged by your investment in gospel ministry.
We are thankful for the way God provides through the Church Extension Loan Fund. For over 40 years, investors have entrusted CELF to support gospel efforts by using their funds to provide building and expansion loans to church plants and ministries across the United States. Pray God will continue providing CELF with gospel-minded investors, and that He will direct CELF administrators as they seek to use these financial resources wisely to promote Kingdom work.
