Today is World Refugee Day. Pray for the displaced, the persecuted

By

65 million people around the world have been displaced by war, conflict, and persecution
Pray for those seeking refuge

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” Matthew 25:40
   What would you do if bombs and bullets were falling all around your house? If your friend, cousin, or neighbor was tortured, imprisoned, killed – whether it was for political reasons or for their faith? 
    More than 60 million people around the world have been in a situation like this where they have to make a quick decision – to pack up and leave the place they have called home all their lives, and cross dangerous territory to live in a camp with thousands of other people and only primitive supplies. Half of the world’s displaced people are children – more than 30 million.
    On this day, we ask you to pray for the refugees around the world, and for those ministries that reach out to help, offering food, shelter, medical supplies, and hope. May God be with them, and may the refugees see Him working in their midst.

Pray for LMW’s partner in ministry: Theological Book Network

By

8,689 books in a variety of languages headed to international destinations
“So is my word that goes out from my mouth. It shall not return to me empty.” Isaiah 55:11
Blessed by God’s Word
What a blessing it is to be able to share God’s Word, clearly explained in The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible®. LMW receives requests from pastors around the world for these books which help them understand and clearly articulate God’s Word, growing His Kingdom.
This week, more than 8,000 volumes were shipped to the Theological Book Network, who will distribute them to pastors in India, Brazil, the UAE, Russia – and other places where there is a great need for quality biblical resources.
Your support makes it possible for LMW to equip pastors for gospel-centered ministry worldwide. Please pray for the Theological Book Network, and for the pastors who will be receiving these resources.

Pray for Pastors in Romania

By

Romanian pastors receive new resources
Blessed by God’s Word
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17.
What a blessing it is to have God’s Word readily accessible – on computers, tablets, phones – and in printed Bibles, commentaries, etc. Many pastors around the world have only one well-used Bible, the pages time-worn, the bindings coming loose. Pastors in Romania recently received training from Pastor Bob Patty of Chattanooga (center right, stripe shirt) – who also gave them 1 & 2 Corinthians Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® AND “What the Bible Says to the Minister” in their native language – for FREE.
These gifts were met with an outpouring of love and appreciation from the Romanian Pastors: “It was a joy to be together with brother Bob and hear him talk on 1 and 2 Corinthians.” “Thank you so much for the books. We are eagerly awaiting other volumes.” “People are perishing for lack of knowledge. Thank you for the sacrifice you make.”
We invite you to pray for pastors across Romania who are serving God in large cities and across the rural landscape. May His Word encourage their hearts.

Pray for the spread of the gospel in Pakistan

By

We invite you to pray for Rev. Patras Nazir and his Christian ministry partners in Pakistan. God has given Rev. Nazir a mission to take the gospel across the country, raising up and training pastors and planting churches.

Rev. Nazir dedicates much of his time translating biblical resources from English into his native Urdu language. He has recently printed 1,500 sermon booklets derived from the Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® in the Urdu language. He will share these books with pastors across Pakistan. But he needs transportation to deliver them. He rented a van to get the books to his home. He and his wife usually travel across the country on a motorcycle with books in backpacks and in bags. Pray that God will provide the needed transportation.

 

Pray for wisdom in a changing world

By

In the midst of a rapidly-changing world, the Word of God is alive and active. Where there is despair – the decline of family systems, poverty, injustice, division, war, disease – Christ brings hope.

We invite you to pray for the leaders of LMW – that God will give them wisdom and discernment as the ministry equips leaders for gospel centered ministry worldwide. New technologies and improved internet access are part of the changing landscape that can be used to distribute God’s Word – bringing hope to the world. May God grant LMW wisdom as we explore these new technologies and partner with ministries and individuals who are committed to sharing the gospel worldwide.

Pray for the Equipping of Pastors Worldwide

By

God is calling pastors to serve Him all over the world. Up to 85% of those called will be unable to attend seminary or receive biblical training. These faithful servants are crying out for biblical and theological resources that will help them preach, teach, and evangelize – transforming homes, neighborhoods, and entire communities as they share the gospel.
LMW’s partner ministry, The Theological Book Network, ships books and resources from their warehouse in Michigan to pastors and seminaries in remote parts of the world. The pastors who receive books are so grateful. We received this from a seminary leader in Zimbabwe: “The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® was a huge blessing for our library. Our dean was excited about its goodness and usefulness. We sent a batch to our satellite campus in Mozambique.”
Another shipment will be leaving soon to go to our partners and trainers in Nigeria. Please pray for the pastors who receive these books and resources – that God will enlighten and encourage them as they study His Word.
