Missions
On March 13 a team (3 from Calvary Baptist Church) will board a plane to go to Southeast Asia. They will return home on March 31. This team will be working in several areas that have one or more Unreached People Groups. An unreached people group (UPG) is a people group that’s total population is less than 2% evangelical Christian. This team will be seeking to fulfill the Great Commission by prayer-walking, handing out tracts, visiting people in the villages, teaching English to children, and proclaiming the Gospel in street markets. Another important part of this trip will be encouraging new believers and leaders of the small churches. Below you will find a prayer guide. Please pray for this team and their efforts to reach Southeast Asia with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Spiritual Readiness 1. Pray for this team asking that they would be ready as pure, humble, faithful vessels through whom the Holy Spirit can work. 2. Pray that each team member will be sensitive and obedient to the Holy Spirit. 3. Pray for God’s presence to be with each team member in such a way that it is unmistakable to those whom they come in contact with. Physical Details 1. Pray for safe travel and good health for the team both to and from Southeast Asia. 2. Pray that God will work every circumstance for His glory. 3.
