Paul’s Missionary Journeys Prayer

Father, Your Spirit spoke through the prophets at Antioch and set apart Barnabas and Saul for the work You called them to. Two men obeyed, and the gospel left Jerusalem and reached the nations. Paul founded churches, wrote letters, suffered shipwrecks and beatings, and ended his life as a prisoner for Your name. That small sending from one church grew into the church we now know today. Father, send out Pauls and Barnabases from our generation. Set apart the ones You have called. Send them across cultures that have never heard of them. Sustain them through the hardship. Bless the churches that pray, give, and support the work — make them faithful senders. And make me a faithful participant in whatever role You call me to, whether going or sending. The harvest is still plentiful. The labourers are still few. Raise them up, Lord. Amen.
