Prayer Points: Partnering in New Places

October 09, 2024

Did you know that most of the time, when Jewish Voice goes to Outreach locations, WE are the partners? WE are the ones partnering with indigenous congregations and leaders to reach out and bless their own people. We lend leadership, resources, manpower and strategies, but it is their work that we help launch, and they will ultimately be the ones to grow and sustain the fruit from the Outreaches.

For our next Outreach in southern Ethiopia, we will partner with a new congregational network with a heart for those in their own region to hear the Good News of Yeshua (Jesus) and receive humanitarian care. We are excited about this new opportunity to partner with them and are asking for your focused prayer covering.

Also, this Outreach takes place during Sukkot, which is called the “season of our joy.” May joy truly mark every aspect of it!

Your prayers are critical for this new relationship in a new location and so that the Good News will have a life-changing impact. Here’s how you can make a difference as you pray:

  • Follow along day by day using these detailed Prayer Points, covering the before, during and after of the Outreach week

Please pray for our October southern Ethiopia Outreach.

During the Outreach

“The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,”

Let’s Pray

Lord, we rejoice that we sensed from You, during our recent Week of Prayer and Fasting, that You are again “doing a new thing” (Isaiah 43:19). May this new partnership and new location be evidence of the ways You are working in Ethiopia. May many lives be touched and experience new life in Yeshua during this Outreach and through this ongoing partnership! Prepare the way for us to serve You effectively and make You known in southern Ethiopia. All glory and praise to You! In Yeshua’s name, Amen.
