Prayer, Retreat and Learning Center
Praise God for hearing the prayers of His people. Give thanks for the privilege of talking to our Father anytime, anyplace, and for the extraordinary ways He answers prayer.
Team Expansion believes that prayer is the KEY strategy to reaching the least reached peoples of the world. Pray for more prayer advocates to serve in Team Expansion’s prayer ministry.
Give thanks to God for all the ways technology is used to spread His Message of Truth and Love. Ask God to raise up information technology specialists to serve from Team Expansion’s home base in Louisville, KY. Pray for workers skilled in website design and database management.
Give thanks for areas of service in permaculture and agriculture to least reached peoples around the world. Pray for more workers with a passion for the lost. Several teams in Africa and Asia are transforming communities around them by training local people in sustainable farming, agricultural, and husbandry practices. While using these tools, lives are being transformed by the Gospel. Praise God!
The Missionary Kid (MK) Coordinator role is designed to assist 200+ Team Expansion MKs through pre-field training, home service debriefings, and college age retreats. This person also advocates for MKs with regular prayer updates and provides parents with resources to effectively raise their children as they serve cross-culturally. The position of MK Coordinator is based out of International Services in Louisville, KY. Ask God to identify and bring Team Expansion an MK Coordinator soon.
Team Expansion’s home office, International Services, is seeking detail-oriented, organized and qualified workers to serve in the area of application processing. Ask God to fill this role that is crucial to the success of the organization and its workers. Pray for willing servants with this specific skill set.
Praise the Lord for willing teachers responding to the call to go and serve third culture kids/missionary kids and families. Teachers are a valuable part of the global mission field. Ask God to identify and send more certified teachers to serve in several Team Expansion fields around the world.
Celebrate those many big-picture visionaries in the missions community. Yet for each visionary, there needs to be someone who can organize and process every detail. Team Expansion is always seeking administrative type workers who can serve the Kingdom. Ask God to raise up folks to use administrative gifts behind the scenes to help BIG things happen for unreached people around the world!
Praise God for growing prayer ministries and initiatives. We believe that extraordinary prayer is a major factor in a church multiplication movement. One key way of mobilizing this kind of prayer is through websites that provide resources and short prayer updates. Ask God to raise up prayer website coordinator committed to creating and maintaining a prayer website for a specific country.
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal” (1 Corinthians 13:1). Two majority Christian people groups (Ukrainians and Russians) are in conflict along a portion of their common border, and people are dying. There are 38 unreached people groups in Ukraine and most are Muslim. There are 90 unreached peoples in Russia, also Muslim and the largest group in both countries is the Tatar. Even though these unreached people groups may not be directly impacted by the border way, they are watching Christians attack each other. Pray for decision makers in Ukrainian and Russian governments to have a genuine desire to serve the peoples affected and not to amass power over others. Pray that Ukrainian and Russian Christians will find ways to influence their own governments in ways that will lead to peace. (joshuaproject.net/hotspots)
One of the largest refugee crises since WWII continues to unfold in the Middle East as people flee the fighting in Syria and Iraq. As many as 12 million people on the move and live in temporary arrangements. Christians are ministering to Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon. While many Arabs feel they are getting to know Syrians as they are forced into contact and mutual assistance. God can use these opportunities for His glory. Pray that the person and work of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ would be recognized in stark contrast to the hatred and vengefulness presently raging in much of Middle East. Pray for peace and stable governments that will enforce peace and make the welfare of all citizens a priority. Ask God to have compassion on the poor and needy and save them (Psalm 72:13).
