Sharing God’s love with least-reached people groups in the world isn’t something we do alone—we consistently partner with prayer warriors, financial donors, and global workers so we can all go further together. The Encompass Prayer Guide is a powerful tool for promoting the Great Commission in your large and small group environments! Together encourage one another to:
- PRAY: Intercede for our efforts in specific and timely ways with our Prayer Guide and other resources.
- GIVE: Support people and projects that are shining God’s light into the darkness with your financial gifts.
- GO: Embark on an overseas mission and share the good news of Jesus with the least-reached peoples of the world.
How to use the Encompass Prayer Guide in Groups
Host a MissionDay event at your church, and lead up to it by utilizing Encompass Prayer Guides in your small group environments. Start by getting Guides for every individual or couple (order at least four weeks ahead of time). More information, including promotional materials, is available at EncompassWorldPartners.org/MissionDay.
- Distribute Guides ahead of time and encourage members to pray daily for the workers and locations featured.
- Lead brief discussions utilizing the 31 Ways to Pray prompts in the front of the Guide.
- Collect a special offering as a tangible way to conclude your global missions emphasis (optional). We propose that 50% go toward a cross-cultural ministry of your church, and 50% toward helping Encompass’s efforts to recruit, train, deploy, and nurture the next generation of global workers.
