First Assembly of God

 World Missions

Before being taken up into heaven, Jesus gave a wonderful challenge to His disciples called the Great Commission. It was an instruction to "go into all the world and preach the good news of Salvation to everyone, everywhere" (Mark 16:15). We continue to follow that instruction by sending and funding missionaries all over the world as they teach other cultures about the gift of salvation through Christ.

2007 World Prayer Meeting

 
Wednesday, July 11, the 6.6 billion people on planet earth got a generous dose of intercessory prayer as 500 missionaries from around the world and guests gathered at 6:30 p.m. for the AGWM World Prayer Meeting at School of Missions in Springfield, Missouri.

More than 600 Assemblies of God churches from throughout the United States also participated in the prayer service. Some watched a live Internet feed. Others viewed a prepared DVD that could be paused so believers could pray for each region individually. AGWM provided a one-hour delayed feed for those in Mountain Time and a two-hour delay for those on the West Coast. Churches that registered also received 15 pages of missions prayer requests.

 Reports from our Regional Directors

In his opening remarks, AGWM Executive Director John Bueno said, "I know this meeting will have an impact on our world." A DVD clip preceded comments from each regional director. Then prayer was offered for specific needs.

Eurasia Regional Director Jerry Parsley mentioned that 2,654 unreached people groups in Eurasia have never said "no" to an altar call because they have never had the opportunity to hear the gospel message. "Yet," he added, "more and more people in Eurasia are being reached with the gospel and thousands and thousands are accepting Christ."
