The prayer diary will be used as fuel for our regular Wednesday prayer meeting along with the Wednesday monthly half night of prayer.

Let us raise the levels of devotion, prayer and study of God’s Word. This is the foundation upon which all God’s plans for us depend!

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” Revelation 7:9-10

2 3 PRAYER FUEL Missions Faith FOR SUMMER 2014 Declaration

Praying for souls to be saved We cannot expect to see the lost saved and become committed disciples Declare from the heart each day before prayer: without much intercession. Quite simply, we are very unlikely to see the hurting healed and the lost rescued without persistent, prevailing prayer. I am anointed with God’s own Holy Spirit, Evangelistic praying and I have been set apart for the Master’s personal use. The reveals that the apostle Paul was a tremendous man of prayer; and his letters are filled with prayers for his readers. The I am a vessel of His honour and His holy treasure abides in an Scriptures also show that Paul was passionate about evangelism – so we earthen vessel. The excellency of the power belongs entirely to should not be surprised to find that most of his recorded prayer requests God. and prayers were made to facilitate effective evangelism. To Him be all the praise and honour, by Christ Jesus my Lord. “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may I confess and declare that I am called by Almighty God be saved” (Romans 10:1). to be a witness to Jesus, to be a fisher of men, Romans 10:1 describes Paul’s dearest wish for the Jews. This verse to be a -maker, to be a church-builder. teaches nothing about the content of his praying; rather, it reveals the I will fully obey this calling, depending at all times purpose of his praying. Romans 10:1 encourages fervent evangelistic on the anointing and enabling of the Spirit. prayer, but it does not provide a model prayer for us to use. I am my brother and sister’s keeper. Paul seems to have prayed, and to have requested prayer, for his own ministry by interceding that the obstacles preventing his evangelism would I am wholly committed to the body of Christ. be removed, and that he would be equipped, energised and motivated to witness more effectively. I am a constant encourager. This suggests that, when we long for someone to be saved, we will I have renounced all criticism and negative speaking. wrestle in prayer to bring about their salvation. Like Paul, we will spend I am not ashamed of of Christ, long hours praying with the purpose that they will be saved. We will, for it is the power of salvation. however, want to find the most effective way of praying to bring about their salvation. Paul’s epistles suggest that effective evangelistic prayer I long for all hurting people to experience Christ’s saving love, often has two distinct elements: and I take every opportunity to speak about Him. 1. Prayer for heralds to be motivated, empowered and equipped I hereby dedicate myself completely to the ministry of Jesus, and will serve Him zealously for the rest of my earthly days. 2. Prayer for obstacles blocking salvation to be removed. To Him be all praise and glory forever. Amen.

Prayer triplets are not new, but they are an effective way of involving every single cell member to win people to Christ. AUGUST We begin by asking cell members to make a list of 10 people whom they 1 know, meet regularly and can invite to the cell meetings. Then we focus on 3 people the Holy Spirit shows us on each of these lists. Joining with 2 2 or 3 other people, we begin to pray daily for those on our shortlists. Regular cell meetings will include time for prayer and strategic planning, in 3 order to win these precious people for Christ. The cells then organise their meetings and activities around the goal of reaching their friends with the gospel.

The State of the World - Lausanne Missions Report The Centre for the Study of Global released a report in 2013 called Christianity in its Global Context 1970 - 2020 Society, Religion and Mission. Christians around the world today find themselves in very different contexts than they did 40 years ago when the Lausanne Movement was founded. The key findings of this report are arranged according to the Edinburgh 1910 Lausanne Movement motto, which is ‘The Whole Church, Taking The Whole Gospel, To The Whole World’. The Whole Church The whole Church includes all Christians and we count 2.3 billion, in all Christian traditions, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, independent etc. There were 18,800 Christian denominations in the world in 1970 and this number had risen to 41,000 by 2010. We anticipate by 2020 this number growth is increasing, it is outpaced by evangelistic efforts and the will have risen to 50,000 Christian denominations. percentage of unevangelized individuals is dropping.

The shift to the global South has also been well documented. In 1970 The Whole World 41.3% of all Christians lived in Africa, Asia and Latin America and by 2020 The percentage of the world that was religious continues to increase. In this figure is expected to be 64.7%. Between 1970 and 2020 each of 1970 around 80% of the world’s population was religious. By 2010 this the major Christian traditions is expected to grow more rapidly than the had risen to 88% and by 2020 we estimate that 90% of the world will be general population in the global South. A third major trend happening religious. Ths represents a huge change from the context of 1970, which in the whole Church is the growth of Pentecostal and Evangelical was the demographic height of atheistic and agonistic population in the movements. world. In addition, in 1970 Christianity and Islam together represented 49% of the global population but by 2020 we estimate that they will likely Pentecostals, Charismatics and Independent Charismatics have grown represent 57%. So Christianity and Islam continue to be the two largest at nearly four times the growth rate of global Christianity. In 1970 these religions in the world but Islam is growing at a faster rate in many places. Christians represented 5% of global Christianity but today they represent 26%. As far as goes, there were about 98 million Personal Contact Evangelicals in 1970 and over 300 million today. Another key issue is personal contact between Christians and followers of other religions. It’s estimated that 81% of all people in the world do not The Whole Gospel personally know a Christian from any tradition. This is most prominent in In terms of the preaching of the gospel, the number of unevangelized overwhelming Muslim majority countries and so on a regional level only individuals in the world has remained high but relative to the percentage 10% of people in Western Asia are thought to have personal contact with of the world’s population. The number of unevangelized individuals was a Christian. estimated at 1.8 billion in 1970 which was 44% of the world’s population. So when Lausanne first started in 1974 44% of the world was considered Gina Bellofatto - Research Associate at the Centre for Global Christianity unevangelized. By 2010 this number rose to 2 billion but the percentage dropped to 29% of the global population. It is estimated that there will be 2.2 billion unevangelized individuals by 2020. So, even though population
