Consider introducing your congregation to a missionary family one Sunday a month and
pray for them. Seek prayer requests from your LINKS missionaries and post them
regularly in your church.

International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church November 1, 2020

Ongoing Prayer Requests:
• Pray for missionaries and their families—for their ministry, health and safety.
• Pray for missionaries and Christians in creative access areas, where government
officials may not welcome missionaries and those who share their faith are in danger
on a daily basis.
• Pray for World Mission Broadcast programs and personnel
• Pray for Nazarene Compassionate Ministries teams
• Pray for the JESUS film ministry.

Fasting
Regular fasting and practicing self-denial, as the Holy Spirit directs, are encouraged. This
will clarify thinking, add fervency to prayer, motivate giving, and help develop empathy.

Father God, how wonderful it is that you have sent the Holy Spirit!
The many ways He provides for us, wisdom, guidance, conviction, understanding,
and so much more. But Lord, we recognize that His ultimate job in our lives is to
testify the message of Jesus Christ and to guide us to do the same.
Help us Lord, to testify to your message in every way possible, with words,
actions, compassion, etc. Our desire is to impact people for you Jesus!
So Holy Spirit, guide us into that task this week and give us courage to do
whatever we are prompted to do. In Jesus' holy name, we pray. Amen.
