Please join us in prayer this month for Worldlink partners who continue to press forward in reaching the world’s least reached. We rejoice in all that God has done so far this year which is reflected in some of the testimonies and prayer requests in this month’s Prayerlink. Please also pray for a great response to our year-end appeal which will ensure Worldlink missionary partners can be sustained in their efforts to reach the unreached. With prayer and partnership, we can reach the world for Christ!

1 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

In this month’s Prayerlink, we give thanks to God for giving so manynew livesin Christ, as well as focus our prayers on people groups where Worldlink partners carry this hope of new life. By God’s grace lives have been transformed and are bearing long-lasting fruit. One testimony is from Saio in Sierra Leone, “At the second evangelistic outreach in Yiffin, we held a three-day prayer mobilization and mass evangelism which ministered to 70 people. Thank God for drawing 10 people into his kingdom during the outreach. A new church plant emerged from these outreaches…”

NEVER GET OVER IT!

 We just celebrated Holy Week and Resurrection Sunday. Remembering those first-century events, I recently reread John 13:1 and the handwritten notes in my decades-old Bible. Those notes, in a size that now strains my eyes, and in a script that is likely illegible to most, read:

“Next 24 Hours”

“-Greater love has no man…” to remind me of John, 15:13, where we read “Greater love has no man than this, that he laid down his life for his friends.

“-For God, so loved…” to remind me of John 3:16 where we read “For God, so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

“-Herein is love…” to remind me of I John 4:10 which reads (in the old King James Version, where I did most of my memorizing in the early years of my Christian life), “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

We just celebrated “the full extent of his love.” I hope we never get over it!

 As you read and pray through this month’s Prayerlink, notice that love is being shared with people all over the world. Some of whom, for the first time in their lives, have heard, believed, and received that love, and just celebrated with us.
