How to pray for missionaries

Father, we pray for the Ransoms and their ministry as missionaries to Ethiopia.

Harvest of souls: We ask for a great harvest of souls that will be won from the kingdom of darkness and discipled into the Kingdom of Light. Give them a hundred fold harvest and fruit that remains. Holy Spirit, go before them and soften hearts that have been hardened to the gospel message. Open doors of opportunity; give them favor with governments, law enforcement, tribal and community leaders. Let the gospel ring out loud and clear and accomplish all that you have intended.

Warfare for the mission and the missionaries: In the name of Jesus’ we take authority over every weapon of the enemy that is formed against them and we declare those weapons will not prosper. We raise the shield of faith that will quench every fiery dart hurled against them. Lord, be their defense and strong tower. Be their offensive coach and give them clear strategy and direction in their ministry.

Continuous flow of anointing: Open a living fountain of anointing that flows from them continuously. Help them not to be weary in well doing. Give them strength to go the distance. Remove those things that would try to sap them of anointing and energy for this mission. Teach them to flow in the gifts and fruits of the Spirit and keep their hearts pure under that power. Help them to walk in your strength and lean on you.

Blessing and provision for this ministry: Father, we ask you to open the treasure house of heaven and pour out abundant provision and blessing on this ministry and on this family. Supply the right tools for ministry that will assist them in being productive. Meet their daily needs for provisions of good food, clean abundant water supply, sufficient power sources, comfortable housing, transportation, communication, home schooling supplies, and special gifts for each member of their family.

Embraced by financial and prayer supporters: Lord, plant a passion deep within the hearts of many who will embrace this ministry with financial and prayer support. Help them to be faithful and tenacious in their support. We claim all the promises and blessings in your word for those who give.

Monthly support raised: We agree together and ask for committed, faithful monthly support. Father, we pray that you would open many streams of support and keep those streams flowing through the Ransom’s entire tour of ministry. Raise this monthly budget support quickly. Speak clearly to those you have assigned to support this work and cause them to be cheerful and ready givers.

Project fund raised: Lord, we see this lump sum of money to be raised as a mountain to be conquered. We want that mountain. We want to surmount this important preparation and enter this season of ministry well equipped and ready to serve. Provide, Lord. Look ahead and provide as only you can.

What should I give? Lord, I want to hear from you specifically. What do you want from me right here and right now. Show me my part in this ministry. Help me to be so submissive to your will that you can have whatever you want from me and I will give it without hesitation or regret.
