Global Mission |
| Leader: |
God who judges the nations of the world, we heed your Son’s great commission to go into all the world making disciples of all, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever you have commanded. (See Matthew 28:19.) |
| People: |
May we respond with glad hearts to spread the good news of the gospel near and far.
|
| Leader: |
May we see in all people the deeper expressions of true humanity, affirming our many similarities and overcoming our differences. |
| People: |
As we go, may we be equipped to understand various cultures and languages. May we go with open minds and hearts responding to the many needs of your children who suffer in many lands. |
| Leader: |
May we learn the history and be sensitive to the destinies of cultures different than our own. May we go not only to give but also to learn and to receive. Let us not impose restrictions upon the activity of your Holy Spirit moving in their midst.
|
| People: |
May we share, from our struggles and triumphs, the possibilities that we have experienced and envision in Jesus Christ. Make us friends to all the world; a world which you loved so dearly that you gave your Son for its salvation.
|
| Leader: |
We thank you for the privileges and comforts which we enjoy in our land. We pray for security and justice in all lands. |
| People: |
We pray a special blessing upon our motherland, the continent of Africa, where poverty abounds. We pray that tribalism, war, and dictatorship may give way to equality and freedom. Remove the vestiges of slavery and colonialism.
|
| Leader: |
Lord, we realize that there are no poor countries, only poor people. Grant redemption by letting us feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and establish democratic governments. Eliminate disease and help us fight to eliminate high international debt.
|
| People: |
Today, a few of the world’s citizens consume most of the world’s resources. Remove this imbalance and give everyone a fair chance, an equal start, and a level playing field. |
| Leader: |
Help us to educate those who are illiterate, to affirm technological and agricultural self-sufficiency, and to establish sustainable environments around the world.
|
| People: |
Thank you for new models of international reconciliation and truth-telling. Rid the world of “ethnic cleansing.” May technology and telecommunications work together for the good of all. |
| Leader: |
Lord, may we ever obey your call to go to unfamiliar places, both at home and abroad, from our doorsteps to the ends of the earth. |
| ALL: |
Knowing that you are always with us always, let us go with love rejoicing. |
