Prayer Guide for Wednesday – Feb 19 - Pray for New work (church formation)

Because of the indigenous work of the Baptist Convention of Peru and the unique focus of the International Mission Board to push toward the unreached and unengaged, there is already a strategy in place to plant new churches among the least reached in Peru. Our desire is to come alongside these national pastors to encourage and strengthen them and their churches as they are encouraged to plant yet other new indigenous works. Peru is the third largest country in South America, and it would take tripling the current number of Peruvian Baptist churches just to get to one church for every 50,000 lost people in Peru. Paul had a desire to preach where the Gospel had not yet reached (Rom 15:10), and yet he employed different methodologies to make that happen. As we work alongside our national brothers this week, would you pray for all of our Great Commission Partners who are working together to see the lost of Peru come to faith in Jesu Cristo?

Please pray:

·        For IMB work toward reaching the unreached in Peru: see https://vimeo.com/203078539 and https://www.imb.org/opportunity-finder/?affinity_group=AG800

·        For the Baptist Convention of Peru to be strengthened and plant more churches and to raise up new indigenous church planters.

·        For the theological training of Peru’s pastors and church planters to help guard against doctrinal heresy and against side-tracking of the Great Commission task.
