Impact the World!

God's desire is for all people to come to know Him (1Timothy 2:4), and He has commanded us to take the gospel to and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19-20). Does this seem like a daunting task? Such a huge mission requires God's power! As a follower of Christ, He has given you this power through His Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8), and He promises to be with us (Matthew 28:20).

One way that we can make an impact on the nations is by prayer. Can I ask you something? Take time to think about everything you have prayed for in the last 24 hours... Now if God were to answer every prayer, how much of the world would be impacted through your prayers?

We begin to have a heart for the nations and know how to pray for them when we are informed about them. A great tool that I use often is the book "Operation World" and there are other websites (look at the Right-hand toolbar under "Praying for Nations" - there it is!).

I want to challenge you...could you start out by praying for one nation per week? The BGM (Bellevue Girls Ministry) blog will highlight a different country every week to pray for - this will help us keep each other accountable and keep up-to-date on what God is doing around the world!

Here's your first country. Watch the video to know specifically how to pray:
