Operation World is an amazing resource for praying for missionaries and unreached people groups. This year our family is beginning to pray through this book, which is designed to be gone through in a year. Page 20 has a helpful description of missionary life and how to pray for your missionaries. How is the local church supposed to view missions?
Congregations must see themselves as local launching pads for the essential task of global mission, rather than as local institutions where foreign ministry is an optional add-on.
Missions is not optional; it is essential. The church is the vehicle by which God has designed missions to happen.
