Evangelism is the joyous witness of the people of God to the redeeming love of God urging all to repent and to be reconciled to God and each other through faith in Jesus Christ who lived, died, and was raised from the dead, so that being made new and empowered by the Holy Spirit believers are incorporated as disciples into the church for worship, fellowship, nurture and engagement in God's mission of evangelization and liberation within society and creation, signifying the Kingdom which is present and yet to come.*

*This definition of evangelism appears in the American Baptist Policy Statement on Evangelism.

American Baptist Churches has a web site for downloading weekly Missionary Prayer Call information at www.internationalministries.org/  Scroll down to Prayer Call on the lower right of the page.

You will be blessed when you use these as a prayer list for a week in your devotional time and you will help missionaries who are away from family and friends in sometimes hostile environments.  Your hearts will be warmed with reports that you get and prayers that have been answered.  You will see what God is doing in the world outside your own box.

May God bless you as you pray for God's workers on the field!
