For the next week, we will be posting a seven part series entitled, *Prayer Tools from the Apostle Paul. We encourage you to use these tools to pray for our family as well as other missionary families or individuals that you support.
1. Pray for Open Doors
"Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ..." Colossians 4:2-3a
Open doors can't be taken for granted. Some missionaries work in difficult-access countries or in areas that are extremely resistant to the Gospel. But "open doors" include more than just access to nations and people groups. Individuals' hearts also need to be open and receptive to God's truth.
Pray that God will open doors of ministry, ministry partnerships and friendships.
Pray that we will be lead by the Holy Spirit and recognize open-door opportunities.
Pray that God will lead us past the many barriers to hearts and prepare others to receive His Word.
*based on a brochure with the same name, produced by Wycliffe Bible Translators.
