As Trans Pacific for Christ begins, here are 10 things you can pray for during Prayer Sabbath on July 4— and over the coming months—as you support this mission initiative from wherever you are in the world.
1. Pray for the speakers
People from more than 20 countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Kenya, India, China, Russia, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States, will present at Trans Pacific for Christ.
2. Pray for the attendees
Across 11 Pacific nations, thousands of people are expected to attend the meetings.
3. Pray for the churches involved
Local churches are the foundation of the program, providing venues, volunteers and ongoing support to their communities.
4. Pray for the local communities
With 983 planned preaching sites across the initiative, the communities are diverse—from cities and regional centres to remote villages.
5. Pray for the countries
Trans Pacific for Christ will be held in American Samoa, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
6. Pray for safe travels
Many speakers and support staff will travel significant distances by air and sea, and local attendees will be travelling to sites each day.
7. Pray for the preparation
Months of planning have gone into the initiative, but last minute problems may arise.
8. Pray for the digital ministry
The programs will be promoted on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
9. Pray for the Holy Spirit’s leading
While planning and preparation are important, ultimately it is a spiritual initiative to connect people with Jesus through the work of the Holy Spirit.
10. Pray for the ongoing nurturing of new believers
Local churches will continue to support and disciple people once the public meetings finish.
