5 Outcomes to Pray For

Published Scripture is not the end goal of Pioneer Bible. Our work in a language group is finished only when it has churches using Scripture to grow, mature, and multiply. Today we are inviting you to pray for these outcomes in people groups who now have Scripture — portions, New Testaments, or entire Bibles — in their own language.

Readiness. Pray that God will break down strongholds within the language group. Pray that people who are not already following Jesus will become dissatisfied with their current religion by whatever means God chooses to bring this about.

Impact. Pray that God’s Word will permeate the culture in every place where it is used: in churches, homes, and schools; on radios and cell phones; and even in places where followers of other faiths gather.

Disciple making. Pray that God will raise up people who will facilitate Discovery Bible Studies. Pray that participants will meet Jesus in the Scriptures they are studying and that they will become His disciples.

Church planting. Pray that believers will gather into churches. Pray that a church-planting movement will spread throughout the entire language community.

Mobilization. Pray that God will send believers from each of these language communities to neighboring people groups and to other places where Jesus is not yet known.
