Pray for Alliance organisations involved in the Church stream
An Alliance organisation relates to local churches and church organisations for the purpose of participating together in the mission of God. Staff come alongside churches to encourage, help, strengthen and help equip them to fulfil a meaningful role in Bible translation.
Within the Alliance, the relationship with the Church is increasingly rich and complex. Some churches (and church denominations) are Alliance organisations because they lead and manage Bible translation programmes.
Pray for these organisations:
- Thank God for all churches that understand their role in the mission of God. Thank God for each church that prays for Bible translation, sends members to be part of Bible translation movements or supports Bible translation financially or in other ways.
- Pray for Alliance Organisations with staff involved in building and expanding relationships with local churches and church organisations. Ask God to help them communicate clearly and understand the needs of the churches they serve.
- Pray that Alliance staff will clearly communicate vision for Bible translation. Ask God to enthuse the hearts of many leaders and members of churches around the globe to be more involved in Bible translation through the Church stream.
- Pray for fruitful relationships between Alliance organisation staff and church and denominational leaders. Pray that many become advocates for language communities who do not yet have God’s Word in the language they understand well.
