*KINGDOM EXPANSION PRAYER – This week’s Kingdom expansion prayers will focus on the Honduras short-term mission trip.
 
Scripture:
 
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (ACTS 1:8)
 
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” (ROMANS 10:13-15)
 
And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (MATTHEW 24:14)
 
 
Prayer (by Pastor Chester):
Heavenly Father, we lift up to You the 2025 Honduras mission starting tomorrow. Send us out alongside the team members, with our prayerful hearts. We lift up to You Rev. Hyun Koo Kang, Rev. Isaiah Lee, Rev. Sooyoung Song, Minister Sewon Cho, Elder Andrew Lee, Elder Don Ko, Deacon Tiffany Jang, Deacon Soon-Jung Huh, Deacon Soong-Ryong Jung, Deacon Jae-In Roh, Deacon Won-Young Kim, Deacon Dongtaek Lee, Yena Kim, Yesung Chae, Jungho Lee, and Youngho Lee. Father God, prepare these beautiful feet to bring Your beautiful news of Christ. Guide them with Your holy Spirit to serve humbly in godly unity. Prepare the hearts of the Honduran families and children to receive their VBS ministry and medical services. Open the hearts of the Hondurans to Your message and the demonstration of Your love through the team. Help the team work well together with local churches and school facilities where they will minister. Bear much good fruit each day they are there. Prolong the hours where Your Spirit can move souls to salvation. Keep the team healthy and bring them back safely, having accomplished all their scheduled ministry. Help them remember Your precious missionary work after returning to be a stronger witness of Christ’s resurrection. Even more than having served, may You, Holy Spirit, serve them in opening their eyes to all You are doing all over Honduras and beyond. May the gospel be proclaimed and advanced because of this beloved Honduras mission, through the Savior and King of the Honduran people, Jesus Christ, Amen & amen.
