Prayer Warrior

Many are anxiously waiting for us to help them launch a Bible translation. They are prepared by God to enter the intense battle—doing the work of translating the Bible into their own languages. 

Will you consider being their intercessor—to diligently pray for them? 

We are looking for dedicated Prayer Warriors. As God breaks into new languages and people groups, the enemy is not happy. The struggles that each Bible translation team faces are real and often overwhelming. We have two great options for Prayer Warriors: You can pray from your own home for a translation event, or occasionally we have opportunities for you to travel and pray in person at the event. Prayer is needed for every part of Bible translation: preparation and dedication to the work, attending events to learn translation methods, and strength and wisdom to complete the entire task. As we empower churches in remote places, we have very limited access to their specific struggles, but we know that covering each language group in prayer is powerful.  

 ***Please continue to pray for all the people and countries that have been affected by COVID-19. Our Father in Heaven is in control, and we know how mighty is His power to defeat whatever is against us.***

A Final Word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.  Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.  For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.  Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.  For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.  Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.  Ephesians 6:10-18 NLT
