December 1, 2014 "Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers.” (1 Corinthians 3:8-9a, NKJV) WORLD LEADER - “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2, NKJV). Please pray today for President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia (southeastern Asia). Prayer requests from Eddie W. Cox, director of IMB’s Office of Global Prayer Strategy, to “Today’s Prayer” intercessors: Thank you for clicking through to “Today’s Prayer” and praying with me as we enter into the second day of our Week of Prayer for International Missions, November 30-December 7, 2014. From a song stage in Sweden to pregnancy health classes in Southeast Asia, IMB missionaries find creative and effective ways to meet people where they are. And they are grateful for Southern Baptists’ prayers and gifts that make it possible to share Jesus with those who don’t know Him. This year’s eight Week of Prayer stories and related videos, which may be accessed at http://imb.org/weekofprayer, illustrate how we are united as we join God in His work. When you pray and give, you support those who extend your outreach from your church to those without Christ. You become part of God’s story around the world! In these Week of Prayer stories, you will learn how your prayer and financial support enables your missionaries to: help churches like yours partner on the field; share Jesus through human needs ministries; disciple church planters to take the gospel to their own people; reach people creatively through songwriting and broadcasts; take the Scripture to a remote people in their heart language; and minister even in war grounds. The best story, of course, is written by the Author of all history. In His perfect plan to redeem all peoples, He continues to call His people to advance His gospel among all nations, together, in one sacred effort. Thank you for praying daily for IMB’s work around the world. As you pray, God answers in extraordinary ways. Remember, your prayers do make a difference. Most sincerely, Eddie W. Cox, director IMB’s Office of Global Prayer Strategy P.S. Please consider downloading the free CompassionNet app, which is available for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
