Day of Prayer and Fasting for World Evangelization
The "official" day of prayer and fasting for world evangelization has come and gone for 2008. Since it is linked each year to the Day of Pentecost, this year it fell, unfortunately, on Mother's Day. Not the greatest day of the year for fasting!
However, the DVD and other resources developed for this extremely important emphasis are undated and still available to help your church understand the needs of the forgotten peoples of South America's Amazon Basin.
More than 400 people groups – about 26 million people – live in the Amazon Basin. Most have never heard of Jesus Christ. Some live in villages too remote to be reached by missionaries. In fact, about 85 people groups live isolated deep in the jungle.
Other barriers hide these peoples. Government restrictions, guerilla groups and tribal beliefs also stand in the way of their hearing the Gospel.
But prayers can go where feet cannot.
So please lead your congregation – on any convenient Sunday – to fast and pray for the unreached peoples of the Amazon Basin.
