Romans 10:10-15
For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
Prayer (from 1906 Presbyterian Book of Common Worship)
Heavenly Father
Revive the spirit of missions in the church, that all your people may earnestly desire the conversion of mankind; and so quicken our hearts, that there may be a larger outpouring of prayer and gifts and personal service, to advance the worldwide triumph of your kingdom. Protect the messengers of the gospel amid all perils: guide them through all perplexities; give them wisdom, strength, and courage to make known by word and life the grace of our Lord Jesus; prosper all that they do, in his blessed name, to serve the bodies and the souls of men; and hasten, we ask you, the promised day, when at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that He is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
