Pray for Alliance organisations involved in the Training stream

Bible translation is a complex task. We want God’s Word to be translated accurately and well. Some Alliance organisations regularly offer training courses in topics relevant to Bible translation roles and programmes, often in cooperation with other organisations. People attending these courses are equipped to serve with excellence. 

Pray for these organisations:

  • Praise God that Alliance organisations are able to offer high-level training to staff who serve in Bible translation movements.
  • Ask God to provide all the personnel that are needed to staff training programmes. Pray that, where necessary, people will be willing to relocate so that each programme has enough staff with the right expertise.
  • Pray for staff involved in these training programmes. Ask God to provide their financial and practical needs and also give them good health and strength. Pray for their spiritual vitality. Courses are often very demanding and trainers generally work long hours.
  • Ask God to guide staff to know which courses to offer. Pray that he will help them and give them wisdom as they develop accessible and high-quality courses. 
  • Ask God to provide suitable locations for training courses. Pray that all the necessary books, technology and other resources will be available as they are needed.
  • Pray for good relationships and cooperation between Alliance organisations and other partners involved in training. Ask God to bring unity of purpose, excellent teaching and resources which result in well-equipped staff to serve in Bible translation movements.
