Just as Lottie Moon gifts support international missionaries, and Annie Armstrong gifts support North American missionaries, the #LovePASJ Missions Offering supports mission efforts right here at home. Please pray God gives grace and favor to the BRN team members who work daily to assist churches in these local mission efforts.

Prayer isn’t merely a ritual; it’s our lifeline, our direct connection to the heart of God. Pray the Lord helps us pray boldly, knowing that our prayers have the power to move mountains and transform lives. May we intercede with faith, believing that God hears us and that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Knowing that 14 million people in PA/SJ do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ, please pray God compels our church members to initiate conversations and share meals with their neighbors, coworkers and other spheres of influence. Who might be the person you reach out to today?

Please pray for our churches’ compassion ministries and outreaches to produce new disciples and new leaders. Pray that church members are equipped to share gospel conversations and to lead in meaningful discipleship. Pray that many new people will be won for Christ and want to be disciplemakers themselves. Pray for leaders within our churches to grow and lead others well.

Please pray for the over 750,000 college students across PA/SJ to respond to God’s call for salvation, discipleship, and service. Pray the Holy Spirit draws college students to Jesus during this pivotal time of their lives. May the Lord initiate a disciple-making movement on each one of our college campuses!

Please pray for the BRN’s hard-working disaster relief teams who have met the needs of neighbors, near and far, through food distribution; recovery from devastating floods, fires and hurricanes; prayer; and more. Please pray specifically for more volunteers to be called out to make a difference for those impacted by the unexpectedness of a disaster! May we be “ready in season and out of season to encourage and share God’s Word” (2 Tim. 4:2).

Please pray for BRN churches who seek to represent the Kingdom of God in their communities. Pray for God to give church members a BOLD vision for obeying God’s Word instead of just learning about it. Pray every church member is a bold witness, not just by his or her words, but by the way they live. May their actions speak volumes as they boldly proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ in their communities, workplaces, and beyond. May they stand unashamed, knowing that His “power is perfected in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Please pray for the BRN’s nearly 330 churches to be “bold as lions”– very BOLD and intentional in their evangelism and outreach. May the Lord bountifully provide solid vision for their ministries and an abundance of resources and refreshment for those in need. May God give church leaders and members a renewed calling and an increasing desire for making disciples, and may we all accelerate Kingdom movement across our region and beyond.
