Praying together
So, what really happened during our World Team Day of Prayer last week?
Here are a few comments I received back from World Team Global members which I hope will encourage your hearts:
“As Spain Team West gathered to pray together on Friday, we enjoyed praying for these 2 people groups and learning more about them. It enabled us to lift our eyes from our own endeavours and surroundings and contemplate others from very different cultures and the challenges of reaching them with the gospel. I sensed it was our privilege to pray for these people groups for God’s Spirit to break through so that others can know the deep love of God.”
“We are going to Lorraine who, as you know, is wheelchair bound. It will be an encouragement for her to continue participating in this vital day. After the passing of her husband Paul into glory, our team has shrunk even more. Nevertheless, we carry on with the day of prayer and the work. First things first.”
“It is always a special time when I pray for World Team ministries in other parts of the world. I pray a lot for our WT Americas missionary team, for new people groups and new ministries, but less for other Areas’ needs. Praying for the Cham and Dadjo opened a new window on what the Lord is doing in other parts of the world, and in a small way, to be a part of what He is doing.”
World Team Canada met for prayer ‘virtually’ and a fair sized group was surprised to have a member of Hook Evangelical Church (UK) join them and explain their church’s passion for the Dadjo and their commitment to pray for this people group for the past 10+ years!
So, what really happened? I believe we united our hearts in prayer, for God to work in significant ways among the Dadjo and the Cham … and we did this ‘work’ together, all around the globe [a Doodle online calendar was a first start at seeing how we prayed together over the 24-48 hour time period].
Much thanks and gratitude for your participation! However, let us not forget that this is only the start of the ‘marathon’ of prayer for these two people groups! Press on together!

Thoughts Along The Journey 
What a big encouragement to the World Team Global Family to literally be at other ends of the world and yet still partnering together to see God’s glory amongst these 2 people groups.
Many people have replied in the same way! United in prayer around the world!
