PRAYERS FOR MISSION AND MINISTRY
Living God, eternal Holy Spirit, let your bright intoxicating energy which fired those first disciples fall on us to turn the world again.
(New Zealand Prayer Book
p. 604)
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
(BCP p. 100)
PRAYERS FOR EVANGELISM
Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know your to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your name. Amen.
(BCP p. 101)
FOR PERSONAL USE
Jesus Christ, Son of God, make yourself known through me. Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, speak through me to others.
