"...but as it is written: 'To whom He was not announced, they shall see; and those who have not heard shall understand.'" Romans 15:21/Isaiah 52:15
Neither Isaiah nor the disciples had any idea how far the fame and glory of Christ would go at the time this was written. A few short years before Paul quoted this verse, the idea of sharing the gospel with a Roman soldier was very strange to Peter. Could any of them even imagine what we are now seeing in the world? It once seemed unthinkable to all of us that people would come to the Lord in places like the Punjab, Mongolia and Nepal. Where will the Lord move next? He might just be waiting for you to pray before He moves His almighty hand in one of the world's darkest places!

As you pray next month, pray as if He is waiting for you to intercede for the unreached.

"To the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen." Romans 16:27

So we come to the end of the book of Romans, a book in which God's concern for all nations can be read on virtually every page. There is no more appropriate way to end this study than the way Paul ends the book: giving glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. We need to remember why we are concerned about taking the gospel to the nations: in order to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. All heaven will echo with the praises of people from "every tribe, tongue, and nation." That is why we learn, pray and give every day on behalf of the unreached peoples!
pray: Give glory to Jesus Christ!

"Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God." 1 Corinthians 1:22-24 The Corinthian church had both Jewish and Gentile members. Here Paul illustrates for them how people from both Jewish and Greek cultures often responded to the gospel. Looking for attesting signs to be done by the Messiah, most Jews stumbled on the fact of Jesus' crucifixion. To the wisdom-seeking Greeks, the whole idea of the crucifixion was foolishness. But some from each group saw that Christ is the power and wisdom of God.
pray: Heavenly Father, lead Your missionaries today to those yet unreached people groups, and grant that men and women may see and believe Your power and wisdom in Christ.

pray for us!

"Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God." Romans 15:7
Chapter 14 and the first few verses of chapter 15 deal with issues of conscience in the life of the church. Those strong in faith are instructed not to do anything that would disturb the faith of those not so strong. Paul warns them against putting stumbling blocks in the way of others. Believers are to accept one another as Christ has accepted us: unconditionally. Those who are missions-minded often fall into temptation to be critical of those who don't yet have a concern for all nations. Missions-fanatics should be careful to win their brethren to the cause through love and acceptance.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will teach us to accept other believers who do not share our concerns. Pray against any form of self-righteousness.
Romans 15:20
"It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation."
This verse could be the motto of all frontier mission-minded Christians! Paul was certainly a leader in the early Church both in spiritual and organizational matters. But his heart was always concerned with the frontiers of the gospel, where Christ had not been named. Even with all of his pastoral and leadership duties among new and struggling churches, he pressed on. Of course there are many people who need to be won to Christ here at home and in other cultures that already have a church of their own. And certainly new Christians must be trained well. Yet we must not forget Paul's example.

Pray that the Lord will foster in our churches this same ambition to preach the gospel where Christ is not named.

Magnificent Obsession Steven Curtis Chapman
verse1: Lord, You know how muchI want to know so much In the way of answers and explanations I have cried and prayed And still I seem to stay In the middle of life’s complications All this pursuing leaves me feeling like I’m chasing down the wind But now it’s brought me back to You And I can see again
chorus: This is everything I want This is everything I need I want this to be my one consuming passion Everything my heart desires Lord, I want it all to be for You, Jesus Be my magnificent obsession
verse2:So capture my heart again Take me to depths I’ve never been Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy Return me to the cross And let me be completely lost In the wonder of the love That You’ve shown me Cut through these chains that tie me down to so many lesser things Let all my dreams fall to the ground until this one remains
chorus2: You are everything I want And You are everything I need Lord, You are all my heart desires You are everything to me You are everything I wantYou are everything I need I want You to be my one consuming passion Everything my heart desires Lord, I want it all to be for You I want it all to be for You
* keep me LIVING OUT LOUD!!! [finding i'm far TOO QUIET when it comes to speaking of The One who is The Way, The Truth & The Life ="(
Challenging quote for life: "if those who say they know The Truth - that they know Jesus - don't share Him, do they really know the Truth? Probably not. Those who know Him can't deny Him. Knowing Him is just too life-altering to go long without talking about Him. Knowing Jesus changes things so that a person can't sit back in a comfortable lifestyle and do nothing while others swallow lies or are persecuted. Knowing Him means being a constant witness of The Truth and a constant catalyst of change for a better world. Whether it is on a large or small scale, those who belong to Jesus make a difference. -- Jesus Freaks vol. II p16

"Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function..." Romans 12:4
Many people describe missionaries as the legs in the body of Christ. They do the stepping out; without legs, the body would go nowhere, stagnated and growing fat. But the legs would be nothing without the rest of the body. The head, of course, is Christ. Congregations can be seen as the trunk, to provide vital support functions for the legs. The legs cannot be strong unless the trunk is strong as well. Rejoice today that even though you may never be able to be Christ's legs by becoming a missionary, you can be a vital part of the missionary enterprise through your financial and prayer support.

pray: Teach me, Father, how I can make the trunk more healthy!

"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will." - Romans 12:2
A major reason for the existence of this Global Prayer Digest is to deepen your understanding of God's will. This booklet is meant to help you to fill your mind with Scripture and information that will challenge your faith and prompt further involvement in the Great Commission. It is also meant to encourage you and stimulate you to pray. By contrast, the world would have us conform to its priorities-self-preservation, self-gratification and self-security.

Pray that Jesus will renew our minds today by His Word so that we may discover what He would have us do to join in the task of reaching the unreached.

"How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" Romans 10:15
Have you ever thought about the anatomy of a missionary? His tongue has knots in it from over-exertion in learning new languages. His knees have calluses from all-night prayer meetings. But his feet are gorgeous! All kidding aside, missionaries come in all shapes, sizes, and most ages. They are pretty much, as Jim Elliot once said, "...just a bunch of nobodies trying to exalt Somebody. In fact, they're pretty much the same kind of folks as you and your family." Have you ever seriously thought of becoming a missionary?

Ask God if he wants to give your feet a facelift!

"For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him, for 'Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved.' " - Romans 10:12-13
Paul's point here is that the path of faith is clearly open to both Jews and Gentiles. In a restatement of a major theme of the book-righteousness obtained by faith-Paul very clearly reveals God's unlimited plan for all peoples. Note the absolute terms used. "No difference," "Lord of all," "all who call upon Him," "everyone."

food for thought!! It wasn't so long ago that some of our ancestors were what we call unreached peoples. But God in His sovereignty revealed Himself to them in Christ.

pray:Father, we who know You commit ourselves again to making Your grace known to the world's unreached peoples.

"Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved." - Romans 10:1
Here Paul was again showing his concern for his own people group, the zealous Jews of his day. His heart yearned for them, and he spent time on his knees in prayer for their salvation. This was in addition to his willingness to accept their punishment for rejecting Christ (Romans 9:3)! We, as Paul, ought not let our zeal for the unreached peoples diminish our concern for the lost of our own people group. But our concern for our own people must not overshadow our zeal for the unreached peoples, either.

Pray that the Holy Spirit will give us His love for those around us and for unreached peoples.

Romans 9:3
"For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race, the people of Israel."
Wait a minute! Isn't this the same writer who only a few chapters ago assured us of the death that awaits those cut off from Christ? Yes, it is. His love for his own people even led him to wish to suffer their punishment for rejecting Christ. Note, however, that even though Paul loved his fellow Jews that much, he spent his life ministering among the Gentiles!

Father, give us more men and women who-in spite of their love for the Church and all of the needs here at home-will bring the good news to the unreached peoples.

"But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." Romans 8:25
We hope for the glory to be revealed to us in eternity, and we wait for it patiently. We must persevere and go on, believing that it will happen. We must also believe that there will be a Church for those peoples who don't yet have one in their cultural sphere. Can we persevere and eagerly work until every Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, Animistic, and Hindu people group has a church community of its own? Some well-meaning Christians-even some deeply involved in missions-have expressed doubts about our ability to cross the political and cultural frontiers separating the unreached peoples from the gospel.

Pray for more missionaries and leaders who will hope for what we do not yet have-a Church for every people!

"Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." Romans 8:5
Our world abounds in things of the flesh which compete with the things of the Spirit for our attention. Television, magazines, and the Internet-not inherently bad in themselves-often contain material which takes our minds away from the Spirit and onto the things of the flesh. One major reason for this Global Prayer Digest is to help us to set our minds on the things of the Spirit. We daily read of God's concern for all nations, what He has done in the past for them, what He is doing now, and what still needs to be done to bring the gospel to every one of them.

Ask God to help you keep your mind on the things of the Spirit today-including prayer for the unreached peoples!

"Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation." Romans 5:11
The wonderful news is that He has made provision to reconcile us to Himself through the blood of Christ. He knew that we were weak sinners, even enemies. How great is our reconciliation! In this we rejoice! And God yearns that people everywhere be reconciled to Himself (cf. 1 Timothy 2:4). Because we are His body on earth, He has given us the message and the ministry of reconciliation (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19). Will we rejoice as we take this message to a lost and dying world?

pray: Jesus, thank You again that You have reconciled us to God. Thrill us with the ministry of reconciliation that is ours.

"God, in whom he believed-the God who gives life to the dead..." Romans 4:17
One source of Abraham's great faith was his confidence that God was able to raise the dead. Specifically, he believed that God could raise Isaac-his only son-from the dead if Isaac were sacrificed in response to God's command. Christians today need the same kind of faith. In many churches, a once strong missions thrust has died, succumbing to disinterest, disobedience, and perhaps despair. Interest and action among students today, while improving, is lethargic compared to the heyday of the Student Volunteer Movement 100 years ago.

Pray that God will bring back to life the portions of His body that are dead to the cause of the unreached peoples.

"Is he not the God of Gentiles too?" Romans 3:29
The passage of Romans 3:21-29 is a glorious one, proclaiming that we are justified not by the outward performance of the works of the Law, but by an inward heart of obedience and faith. The path to becoming righteous in God's sight is the same for all men-"the gift of His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus" (v.24). Meditate on this great truth today. The very God that we worship is the same God over the entire human race. He's the God of Animists, Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Taoists, Buddhists, and others. They may not know it, but He is their God. How He longs to be their Savior, too! What a wonder it is that He has entrusted us with the gospel to share with them.

Pray that the Father will help us to see the unreached peoples as He does.

"What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? Not at all!" Romans 3:3-4
What if some Christians today really believe that we need not go to the unreached peoples, or that the task is impossible? Would that render null and void God's command to go and His promise that the unreached peoples will be reached? Absolutely not! Yet we often find both of these attitudes today. Some Christians don't really believe that the Lord meant us to go to all the nations with the gospel. Others may believe the command, but are overwhelmed and totally discouraged by the immensity of the task.

pray: Father, we want to be faithful to carry Your gospel to the ends of the earth.

* bless many still waiting to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ through our GFA MAX MISSION missionary, "CJ"!! see www.gfa.org/maxmissions
* please pray 1Thess 5:23-24 for me: May the God of peace himself make you holy in every way. And may your whole being-spirit, soul, and body-be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do this.
* in all things Christ would increase, and i would decrease!
* His Holy Fire would burn away my desire for anything not of Him & of me, wanting Him ONLY & none of me, to empty me of self & fill me with HImself!
* i'd keep giving Papa my scars, my past, my fears & let Him lift me up on His shoulders!
* i'd stop living in fear & in the scars of the past & daily walk on IN GRACE!!
Lord, grant me never to lose sight of:
the exceeding sinfulness of sin,
the exceeding righteousness of salvation,
the exceeding glory of Christ,
the exceeding beauty of holiness,
and the exceeding wonder of grace
(from "continual repentance" the Valley of Vision)
* keep exposing any idols my heart is prone to wander after, that they might be destroyed & He not be robbed of any glory & devotion He deserves EXCLUSIVELY!
* i'd unlearn the LIES i've believed in & held onto for FAR TOO LONG [eg i'm not worthy of anyone's love, especially God's!]
* i'd hold onto, avail myself to & never let go of the promises of God whatever happens!
* keep me standing close to the cross every moment of every day to cultivate/strengthen my greatest friend, humility, and weaken/kill my greatest enemy, pride!
* guard my purity - i fall far too often =( [but it's really not all about my standing or falling is it?!] ;)
* i'd daily declare war on pride & gladly declare my weakness & desperate need for total dependence on God's AMAZING GRACE!
* i'd not lose sight of the seriousness of the very real unseen war raging on around us & stay ALERT for the souls of those around me & myself!!
* i'd use every temptation to sin as an opportunity to prove my love for Jesus by keeping His commandments! "The person who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I, too, will love him and reveal myself to him." (John 14:21)
* i'd reply the devil's accusations with GOSPEL TRUTH!! Micah 7:8-9!
!thanks SO much~! appreciate you . . . for an eternity :)

praise & pray for Rachel (KOR)

wow.. another incredibly OBVIOUS God-appointed appointment - just love walking with The King of kings!! Rachel was in my English Corner group last week, also this week & brought her Korean friend, John, who laterturned out to be a brother in Jesus

:D they are both "getting bankrupt" so we headed out after class for a bargain dinner ($2.50 @ Broadway Food Court closing down specials). after dinner, they were happy to hang out so we walked over to Southbank .. during the course of which Rachel got talking & discovered she was from a catholic background, but rejected it, & had been studying the bible here in Brisbane with brothers & sisters at Ashgrove Baptist ;) passed her a 'women only carpark' tract [pictured] & went through it with John to help explain the hard bits in Rachel's mother tongue .. we all left the night acknowledging that was a God-appointed moment & conversation . just beauitiful~! :D

... sharing the gospel scary & hard ?. . . NO WAY!!! THIS IS THE BEST NEWS IN THE UNIVERSE!!!

:D Jesus seeks & saves the lost .. and chooses to use frail, weak, common vessels like you & me!

:D the beauitiful God-appointed moments that come when you just follow Jesus =)

:D opportunity to get to know Rachel & share the gospel with her ;)

:D giving Rachel understanding of the gospel as we shared!

*PRAY*

* Christ manifest His victory & preemimence over every obstacle hindering Rachel from coming to Jesus in repentance & faith!

* reveal Christ as INFINITELY desirable & INFINITELY satisfying to Rachel, bringing her to True Repentance & Faith before it's too late!

* we'd see Rachel in heaven worshipping The Lamb because He's Worthy!! along with others there because she in turn passed on this gospel & didn't keep it to herself!

* have mercy on Rachel, work supernaturally in her heart to forsake sin, follow Jesus, the Son of God in a life of faith! & not let her waste his life giving glory to any other than The One who made her & gave His life for her !

* bring more Divine Appointments her way as he studies & lives in Australia to help open her blind eyes, unstop her deaf ears & enliven her dead heart to receive Real Life!

* provide her with a job that will go towards the ends prayed for above :)

"God's Name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you." Romans 2:24
In this rebuke of the Jews for their religious inconsistency, Paul makes reference to Isaiah 52:5 and Ezekiel 36:21-22. It was an old problem. The Jews, as God's chosen people, had again and again violated the Law of God and lapsed into idolatry, immorality, and economic oppression. The nations watched, and seeing Israel's disobedience, blasphemed instead of praising and adoring the Lord's Name. Today, the Lord's Name is often blasphemed among many nations because of the behavior of Christians in the West. Our attitudes and our use of wealth often inhibit or even destroy our witness in the world.

Pray for purity in the Church so that the Name of the Lord will be praised among the nations.

!! pray for Burma Cyclone Survivors -- Need Your Help!!

The suffering of the people is unimaginable. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, are homeless. Food is in short supply, and prices are skyrocketing. Electricity may be out for months. People have lost literally everything.

Yet God is also opening miraculous doors, and you can make a difference.
In a land where Christians are a small minority, we are now being asked to help. Where official government policy has banned relief work by non-governmental organizations, the police in Rangoon have come to our Bible college, openly seeking assistance.

Refugees from a nearby orphanage and even Buddhist monks have come looking for food and shelter. And of course, we are doing everything we can to minister to them in the name of Jesus.

Because communications are down and transportation crippled, we do not yet know how many of our Christian brothers and sisters have lost their homes. But we do know that, regardless of their own suffering, they are volunteering to share the love of Christ with those who have lost everything—and who have no hope.

But these battered believers need your help—not only to rebuild their own lives, but to provide the emergency supplies that will bring life and hope to those around them.

Please click here to send what you can today to support their sacrificial work. Your gift will make a huge difference in the lives of those who are suffering so terribly, and it will bring them the hope that can only be found in Christ.

Romans 2:17 "Now you, if you call yourself a Jew..."
Paul is asking the Jews at this point to examine themselves. They have the Law and the truth, they teach others, and preach, but do they do the things they are telling others not to do? In other words, do they practice what they preach? What if Paul were here today to ask us the same questions? "If you bear the name Christian.... What does it mean to be a Christian?" The name implies submission to the lordship of Jesus Christ and a commitment to His Word. It also connotes an attitude-one that is willing to give up life's "smaller" ambitions for the sake of Christ's global cause.

pray: Father, may You find us to be fully committed Christians for the sake of the unreached peoples.

"I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish...to preach the gospel." Romans 1:14, 15
Paul's obligation was not a promise, or a formal contract, but a demand deep within his conscience. Rather than leisurely carrying out some religious responsibility, Paul eagerly fulfilled his debt of gratitude to the One who had paid a great price for his salvation. We, too, are under such an obligation. Imagine the impact of scattered fellowships of believers across the globe who fulfill their obligation to preach the gospel in order to reap a harvest among all peoples! Have you and your church recognized your obligation to proclaim the gospel?

"For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous." Romans 2:13
This verse is very similar to James 1:22, which states, "But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves." Missionary conferences, mission weekends at churches, and mission emphasis weeks at Bible colleges are wonderful in raising awareness of missions. However, some Christians seem to think that if they attend these special meetings, they have fulfilled their duty. Not so! Each Christian needs to play some active part in the Great Commission, whether through giving, praying faithfully, going as missionaries themselves, or sending others.

Pray that the Father will make us doers of His Word, not hearers only.
