CHINA
Missions Trip - Prayer Guide
July 10 – 20, 2014
Believing that God desires
our specific prayers (James 4:2b), here is a list of things that you can keep
in prayer. Let His Spirit prompt you and
lead. Lord, teach us to pray…
¨ Protection ~ The Lord is faithful, and He will
strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3
¨ Safety and Travel
Mercies (for flights to be
smooth and on time…for luggage to not be lost…that we would find our way…) ~ For He will command His angels
concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
Psalm 91:11
¨ Health (specifically for smog issues and cold/flu
season, odd smells that could turn our stomachs, squat potties, that no disease
or illness would come near us…) ~ I will bring health and healing…I will
heal My people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. Jeremiah 33:6
¨ Rest ~ for jet lag as
we literally flip-flop day and night.
China is 12 hours ahead of U.S. time ~ The LORD replied, “My Presence
will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Exodus 33:14
¨ Provision for our
every need ~ GRACE ~ for all the details that He knows fully and we know in
part ~ And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all
things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good
work. 2 Corinthians 9:8
¨
Strength ~ Servant’s Heart ~ If anyone serves, he should do it
with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised
through Jesus Christ. To Him be the
glory and the power for ever and ever.
Amen. 1 Peter 4:11
¨
Unity of the team ~ May the God who gives endurance and
encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ
Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:5
¨
Compassion ~ To see Jesus in the ones we serve ~ The King will
reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these
brothers of Mine, you did for Me.”
Matthew 25:40
¨
For others to see Jesus in us ~ the aroma of Christ ~ That God
would translate to their souls ~ …you shine like stars in the universe as you
hold out the Word of Life… Philippians 2:15-16
¨
God-ordained moments ~ time spent the way He wants ~ Be wise in the way
you act…make the most of every opportunity.
Colossians 4:5
¨
That our trip would count for all eternity, and have eternal value
~ If
any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay
or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it
to light. It will be revealed with fire,
and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:12-13
¨
Transformed lives (our own while we are there and afterwards at
home, church, ministry, work…as well as the lives God impacts through us while
we are there…) ~ And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s
glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing
glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18
¨
The people of China (the lost, the hurting, for revival to come
to China, for the gospel to spread in one of the largest nations of the world)
~ …I am about to come and gather all nations and tongues, and they will come
and see My glory. Isaiah 66:18
¨
For God’s purpose to prevail (that His will would be accomplished)
~ I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. Isaiah 46:10b
¨
For our families at home (for parents who worry for their children,
for spouses who care for children alone, for children who miss their parent…) ~
I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that He is able to guard what
I have entrusted to Him for that day. 2
Timothy 1:12
