Slavic Missionary Service

Pray for your local church and the local churches in Slavic countries. Ask the Lord to increase the spiritual life of each member of the church. Ask Him to assist your church in the area where you live to seek souls with salvation from sin. And may this assistance extend throughout the whole world. Pray for your pastor and leadership, as well as the pastors and leadership in the Slavic world. Pray for peace in the world. Ask God to restrain evil through the Holy Spirit in order that His Word may have free course in every country.

The ministry of the Holy Spirit in the life of the child of God is to transform that person into Christlikeness. One of the most important goals of the Holy Spirit is to help the believer to be faithful. “Faithful is He who calls you, and He will also bring it to pass” (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

God, who is faithful in all His ways and word, expects the same from His followers. “Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found faithful” (1 Corinthians 4:1-2). A faithful Creator desires His creation to be faithful. “Thy faithfulness continues to all generations” (Psalm 119:90). God remains faithful, “for He cannot deny Himself” (2 Timothy 2:13).

God is working out His program proposed since the beginning of time. He will produce a people that will perfectly reflect His character including His faithfulness. “My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with Me; He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to Me” (Psalm 101:6).

In His faithfulness God continues to carry out His eternal purposes. And God made man in His image with the capacity to aspire to this divine expectation of faithfulness. “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for He who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23). Every Christian can be faithful before God. “But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

Lift to God a steady flow of prayer to God for the missionaries of Slavic Missionary Service that they will be faithful. Ask God to pour His wisdom upon the workers of SMS so that they may fulfill the weighty responsibility of proclaiming God’s Word, maintaining God’s ways and training others to do God’s will. To all His children, God pleads and proclaims, “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life” (Revelation 2:10).

If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

2 Corinthians 5:17

God’s strategy for world evangelism calls for two equally important elements: Co-missionaries and Go-missionaries, the senders and the sent, the supporters and the workers. A Christian church without missionary enthusiasm is a contradiction. God depends upon the faithful testimony of His people for the evangelization of the world. The Savior expects those who have tasted the sweetness of salvation to spread the news far and wide. He has commissioned His children to share His Word to the lost in every country.
