Pray the study of Scripture will lead people to surrender their lives to Jesus. A local missionary leads a Bible study for people who wish to know more about Christ, and he credits his own study of Scripture for giving him the confidence to do so. “Learning about the life of Jesus and praying to God is like spiritual breathing,” he said. Now, as he leads the Bible study and listens to the many questions from the participants, he understands the value of turning to Scripture to find clear answers and encourage one another. Your donations support discipleship opportunities such as this.

“After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.” (John 2:22)

Pray the gospel message will penetrate the hearts of those who hear it. More than 70,000 people regularly listen to a local ministry’s radio program, with listeners surrendering their lives to Christ every day. “God called me for this special task,” the ministry leader said. “I will continue doing it until I cannot.” In addition to its regular listeners, many new house church leaders depend on its content for training. “I listened and then I was able to put together a sermon and preach at my church,” one man said. Your donations assist with outreach like this program.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” (James 1:22)

Pray that Bibles will be accessible to those who long to have one. A farmer gave his life to Christ during a local ministry’s evangelism event, and later, when one of the missionaries asked if he had a Bible, the farmer admitted he wanted one but did not have the money to purchase it. When the missionary then gifted the man with a Bible, he was overcome with excitement. “For the first time, I am going to read the Bible,” he told the missionary. “I think this will change my life and that of my family.” Your donations of $32 or $64 help provide Bibles to those who thirst for God’s word.

“You have given me greater joy than those who have abundant harvests of grain and new wine.” (Psalm 4:7)

Pray for believers as they train to share the gospel with the lost. Through its seminary, a local ministry launched a PhD program in collaboration with other seminaries that provides a doctoral education taught in context to the local cultural challenges that students will face upon graduation. “It equips leaders to engage deeply with theology in ways that resonate with their cultural and ministry contexts,” the ministry leader said. “It underscores our commitment to strengthening the Church in the region and beyond, ensuring it is prepared to navigate contemporary challenges with wisdom and insight.” Your donations of $60 or $120 will help provide assistance with such leadership and discipleship training.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

Pray for missionaries in their relationship-building efforts. Local missionaries met a family with six children abandoned by their father, leaving the mother and grandmother to raise them. When the missionaries first reached out, the grandmother was suspicious of their motives, but on their second visit, they shared their Christian faith and told them they were part of a local ministry. As a result, the grandmother’s attitude changed, and she welcomed them into the home. Then, she told her grandchildren they should believe in Jesus and become more like the missionaries. Your donations of $60 will help support missionaries as they build relationships and share Jesus in their communities.

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” (Proverbs 19:17)

Pray the sick and suffering will put their trust in Jesus. A local ministry has treated more than 6,000 patients at its hospital during a six-month period, with its focus on providing OB-GYN and orthopedic services to the poor and vulnerable. Doctors have delivered babies and performed various other gynecological surgeries, and with the help of an orthopedic robot, they have done several knee replacement surgeries as well. This work enables these Christian workers to share the gospel with those who might not otherwise hear it, encouraging those they help to give their lives to Jesus. Your donations of $35 or $70 assist with such medical outreach.

Pray for missionaries as they build relationships with the lost. After they received approval to assist at an emergency reception center, local missionaries began to lead Italian language lessons there three times a week. “If we did not intervene with our volunteers, many would be left to their personal initiatives,” the ministry leader said. Through their work, missionaries aim to build relationships that will in turn provide them opportunities to share the gospel and invite people to church. “All our hard work is only to reach people with the gospel,” the ministry leader said. Your donations support such outreach and evangelism.

“Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:18)

Pray for the provision of resources to help train missionaries in sharing the gospel. Forty local pastors recently attended a church planting training retreat to learn how to be more effective in their ministry. “This training helped them to be equipped in the Word of God and be more effective in their evangelism,” the ministry leader said. The teachers structured the event around the New Testament pattern of church planting, which they entitled “Replication Strategy.” As a result of the training, the pastors have now successfully formed house churches in their communities. Your donations assist with such training opportunities.

Pray for those on the cusp of giving their lives to Jesus, that they will surrender to His love. A married couple had a difficult relationship because of their different ethnic backgrounds, and the woman often complained of her husband to the wife of a local missionary. The missionary’s wife shared the gospel with her. As a result, the woman surrendered her life to Christ. Later, her husband met other missionaries from the ministry and heard the gospel for the first time as well. Though he has not yet given his life to Jesus, missionaries continue to minister to him and build a friendship with him. Donations support such evangelism.

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding.” (Ephesians 1:7-8)

Pray that those who hear the gospel message will give their lives to Jesus. A community has been transformed by local missionaries who shared the gospel through a sports ministry. Their outreach efforts brought together young people from Muslim and Christian backgrounds and opened community members’ eyes to the value of younger generations. “You gave us a spirit of life by gathering the youth Muslims and Christians,” the governor reported to the local ministry leader. During the outreach, many participants requested copies of the Bible and asked questions about Christ. Your donations of $50 support outreach such as this.

“What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel.” (1 Corinthians 9:18)

Pray the gospel will touch the lives of the lost. Despite opposition, a local missionary preached the gospel in six villages and held prayer meetings in the homes of believers, not only bringing together believers for this time of fellowship but also opening the door for people from other religions to learn of Jesus as well. “It was amazing to see how many people were touched during those gatherings,” he said. “Several experienced miraculous healings through our ministry, and a few have started coming to church!” Your donations will assist with this important gospel work.

Pray the Holy Spirit will rain down on the lost as missionaries preach the Word of the Lord. Each soul won to Jesus is a cause for celebration among local missionaries, missionaries who unceasingly sacrifice for the sake of the gospel. They baptize new believers in murky rivers, disciple groups of men and women in tiny apartments, spend hours translating Scripture into indigenous languages, and pray over the sick in the middle of the night. Please consider a donation today to help Christian Aid Mission find, vet, and assist these mighty men and women who soldier on, day in and day out, for the kingdom of God.
