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.

Lessons learned from God should be shared with others. God desires His devoted disciples to lead a lost world to Him. Love has been shed abroad in the hearts of believers by the Holy Spirit. And love compels the Christian to live for Christ what has been learned. “Learn to do good” (Isaiah 1:17).

“Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths” (Psalm 25:4).Mary learned what redemption includes (Luke 1:26-55). Zacchaeus learned what restitution entails (Luke 19:1-10). Martha learned what resurrection indicates (John 11:21-44). Peter learned what restoration encompasses (John 21:15-19).The Philippian Jailer learned what repentance involves (Acts 16:19-34).

The missionaries of Slavic Missionary Service are sharing what they have learned in Christ. Biblical precepts and principles are practiced in life for others to see. “The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things; and the God of peace shall be with you” (Philippians 4:9).

Bible studies and one-on-one visits at convenient places continue to be an ideal way for the missionaries to share their faith in an informal setting. Conferences and seminars led by SMS workers are designed to instruct believers how to practice what they are learning from the Holy Scriptures. Special gatherings allow church members to invite acquaintances and friends to learn more about Christ and Christianity.

Pray that the SMS missionaries will live what they have learned in Christ before their families, their friends and with whomever they may fellowship. Ask God to give them opportunities to share their faith to those individuals with whom they greet or meet. And pray that the missionaries will continue to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).

Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6:33

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.
