Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Invite the Lord’s blessing on the entire ICOM experience: for missionaries to be rededicated to their calling and for new recruits to apprentice alongside and for more workers to be raised up for the harvest

Praise God for the opportunity to participate in the International Conference on Missions (ICOM) Nov 13-16.  Pray for God’s guidance as Team Expansion meets with inquirers, candidates, and recruits, as well as networks with potential partners, Bible colleges, and seminaries.

Give thanks and praise to God for the role of the persecuted church in spreading the Gospel and proving genuine faith. “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith – of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire – may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus is revealed” (1 Pet 1:6-7).  Pray for more men and women who will turn from persecuting believers to joining them in worship.

“You answer us with awesome deeds of righteousness, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and the farthest seas” (Ps. 65:5).  Praise God that, even in the midst of persecution and upheaval, passion keeps motivating caring Christians toward the lost. Pray for fresh harvesters newly arriving on field, for their language acquisition to effectively speak the heart language of the people, so that they may share the story of righteousness and hope with those who have not heard.

Give thanks and praise God for new believers, who used to be slaves to sin but now are wholeheartedly obeying the form of teaching entrusted to Team Expansion workers across the globe. Pray that 1000 people would be set free from sin and become slaves to righteousness (Rom 6:17-18) mission wide this year.

Give praise to God for Christian giving and resources. “You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God” (2 Co 9:11). Pray that God would identify financial partners that give generously for supporting every current and future Team Expansion worker, which will result in expressing gratitude to God.

Give thanks to God for His indescribable gift! Pray that Team Leader Training will better equip team leaders to direct their teams in sharing this indescribable gift with least reached peoples with whom they have a passion to see worshiping Jesus and following Him in their own cultures.

During Team Leader Training today, pray the sessions, group discussions, role playing, interaction,  conversation are enlightening, inspiring, compelling, self-evaluating, and aligning for team leaders to draw nearer to God and to see their potential in reaching the unreached with the Gospel.

A women’s track has been developed for the wives of Team Leaders. Pray that these wives glean from activities and sessions so they are healthier in their relationships with God, their husbands, and their families. Pray that the wife of each team leader continues in what she learns as Biblical which is able to make her wise for salvation through faith in Christ (1 Tim 3:14).

Team Leader Training is in its second day at Emerald Hills. Praise God for these servant leaders and their eagerness to be better equipped. Pray that each person will take to heart what is learned so that team leaders may set the tone as a spiritual role models (Deut 32:46).
