Slavic Missionary Service

Pray daily for pastors in the Slavic countries (as well as your own) that they will have wisdom and power from God to preach the Word effectually and to care for all of the saints. Pray that the convicting power of the Holy Spirit will accompany the preaching of God’s Word throughout all lands. Ask God to stir up Christians to use their God-given freedom to the fullest advantage in making known everywhere the Gospel of Jesus Christ. “Freely ye have received, freely give” (Matthew 10:8).

Genuine Christian love, through speech and through sustenance, continues to be shared by the missionaries of Slavic Missionary Service during these times of uncertainty, upheaval and unrest. How important it is to point people to the God of peace. Only He can give inward peace to the person who believes by faith on His Son as Lord and Savior, receives forgiveness through the blood of His Son, Christ Jesus, and achieves great things through the power of the Holy Spirit for the honor and glory of God. “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit, soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

Although, at times, pressured with constant change, the workers of SMS press forward in their devotion and duty for the Lord Jesus Christ having “shod their feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace” (Ephesians 6:15). Many continue to provide “care” packages to those most affected by the continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as well as those who are disadvantaged and despairing. And various types of gatherings continue to be conducted for the needy, for refugees and for widows.

“The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace” (Psalm 29:11). The sacrifice, serenity and stamina needed to provide goods and the Gospel to others during calamity and conflict can only come from a gracious and merciful God. Pray that the missionaries of SMS will continue to share peace to those people who cross their paths. May they reach these individuals who need that peace most of all. “Now the God of peace… equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen” (Hebrews 13:20).

“Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen” (Romans 15:33). May all the SMS workers truly experience the presence of God in all their service for the Savior. “Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all” (2 Thessalonians 3:16).

“Finally, brethren, rejoice, be made complete, be comforted, be like-minded, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you” (2 Corinthians 13:11).

"But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Matthew 9:13

The Lord will resume His dealing with the nations, as well as with the Chosen nation, when He has completed the church in this Age of Grace. God is working today “to take out” of the nations “a people for His name” (Acts 15:14). Ask God to empower every witness that is proclaiming this message of love to sinful men. Pray continually that the Holy Spirit will convict men of their need of Christ. “Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
