One of the ways to affect our changing world is to pray. It is an often unnoticed, unglorified, and uncelebrated method of changing the world. But, by the many different examples from the life of Jesus, prayer is a vital ministry which we are commanded to take part. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to find the right information on world missions that help you pray effectively. I believe God hears the prayer that says “pray for the African children.” But, our own motivation and persistence are encouraged and motivated by prayer request that are specific like this one: “In the days before she had three children, 20year old Hawa wished to go to school. Though the Bible is available in her language, she is unable to read it. Ask God to make His Word available to those in North Africa who are nonliterate.” This is where the imb PRAY app can help.
The imb PRAY app is an app for those who have a burden to pray for world Christian missions. It will motivate and inform. It will challenge you and it will give you structure in your prayer life. The opening frame of the app shows several different areas in which to find missions information. This page is a great landing page that will direct you several different alternatives to begin to inform your prayers.
My favorite area of the entire app, however, is not in the tiles but in the little mark at the bottom that says “daily feed”. This daily feed gives the viewer the key information from where they can target their prayers through an informed understanding. For years, I have a list of prayer request with these requests listed. Now, it the app, they are displayed on cards for easy access to the content. This is a critical place to be if you are interested in praying for Southern Baptist Missionaries committed to sharing the gospel to the world.
On another page inside the app, the viewer can chick on the Prayer line recording that includes a devotional thought and a conversation review of a short prayer list.
Also included in the app are motivational and challenging videos to encourage others to pray for the needs around the world.
I was extremely happy to see this app. It is a useful tool in understanding the work of missions around the world. Praying for missions and informing yourself about missions is a great way to becoming aware of the specific needs that are in our world.
If you have a heart for missions. Missionaries, and missionary work; this app is a great way to explore your passion. Be sure to download this prayer app today.
