This February, we will dedicate our attention to the call of mission upon our church family. Jesus Christ makes clear that we share in His mission as His witnesses…
“As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” John 20:21
Some people have a unique call to go to the ends of the earth, but all of us have the call to live on mission in our unique spheres of influence. Our job is to preach the gospel and serve everyone, everywhere.
Each week, we will showcase a different aspect of our efforts to share Christ. This includes our community impact, church planting, and global reach. We want to pray for those missionaries entrusted to our care and support them in their work here in Canada and abroad. We desire to listen and obey Jesus’ command to pray in Luke 10:2,
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers.”
Over the course of the month, you will be invited to participate in our 10:02 prayer initiative in the morning and evening, savour the food and fellowship of an international dinner and walk in support of the vulnerable at the Coldest Night of the Year event. May God use this month to stir our hearts for the mission of His church and His glory.
Life on Mission Events
10:02 Prayer Week
Monday, February 6 – Sunday, February 11
10:02am & 10:02pm
We have created seven intentional prayer prompts inspired by Luke 10:2, to help you pray for our supported Grandview missionaries at 10:02am and 10:02pm each day. You will find a short bio to get to know each missionary and how you can pray for them. So wherever you are, at home, at work or at school, set your alarm on your smartphone and pray! And if the timing is difficult, just pray whenever you can.
Make sure you are signed up to receive The Grand View (our digital bulletin). Subscribers will receive a digital prayer prompt each morning starting Monday, February 6 and ending Sunday, February 12.
