Matthew 28: 18-20 18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been
given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded
you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Praying for the Nations,
The Great Commission is a call to make disciples of the Nations. How can
we do that? Not everybody can or will travel “across the oceans” to other
countries, or even across the United States, or even to every church in our
Association. Discipling the nations requires that We share the Gospel and
instruct the “gospelized” even to ends of the earth. Part of that sharing,
instructing, and going is praying. Everybody CAN pray for the Nations, our
nation, and our Association. This booklet is designed to allow you to be
very intentional and specific concerning praying. I use this booklet every
week personally, and we at the BAGBR office also pray through this
booklet at least twice a year. You will be glad that you did; you will be
amazed at how God will heighten your awareness of ministries, people,
and needs around the world; and you will develop a greater love for
praying and people. Enjoy your prayer journal journey this year and the
next, I will.
In Christ,
Dr. Tommy Middleton
Executive Director of Missions

A suggestion on how to use this prayer guide:
1. This guide divides the 200 nations in our world, our United
States, the churches in the BAGBR Association, and the
BAGBR ministries into 50 groups.
2. If you were to set aside one day of the week to pray for
missions we ask that you pray for these, a different grouping
of four, two/three churches of BAGBR, and one ministry and
one state each week.
3. At the end of the calendar year you will have prayed one
time for every country in the world, every one of the States
of the US, all the churches in BAGBR, and the different
ministries in BAGBR.
4. At the bottom of most pages there is space to make notes,
or write impressions that you may have as you pray and
meditate. There are maps at the back of the booklet as well,
so that you will be able to visually see where these countries
are located in our world.
