“Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. And we have confidence in the Lord about you, that you are doing and will do the things that we command. May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.”
2 Thessalonians 1-5

This month’s Prayerlink is filled with stories of 64 new lives in Christ and the progress our partners are making in their own regions. But on September 4th, 8th, and 10th, you’ll also read about a few of our many partners who are experiencing obstacles that seem so distant to us, we often forget they are common occurrences. These partners are encountering evil spirits, people who have been possessed by evil spirits, and people who believe witch doctors are the ones who hold the authority to conquer demonic powers. So, as you rejoice and praise God with our partners for His victories throughout the month, pray earnestly also for our partners who are facing intense spiritual warfare and the people for whom they are desperately fighting.

“To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.” – Martin Luther

July 1st marks the beginning of Worldlink's new ministry year. It's always an exciting time looking back over the past year and praising God for all the great things He has provided for the ministry and the works He has done through our Indigenous Missionary Partners. But we also love looking forward and creating new goals and asking God to help us accomplish them in the next year. July 1st is a great reminder for us to "Rejoice always, pray continually," Romans 5:16-17.

So let us take a moment and give thanks to God for one of the most important gifts He has provided for us this year - You! It is because of your prayers, support, and trust that we are able to do what we do, and we cannot thank you enough.

With your help, Worldlink Partners were able to share the Gospel with 748,512 people in the past 12 months. 56,908 of those people accepted God's gift of salvation. Throughout this month's Prayerlink, we highlight 1,342 salvations and 522 life rededications. We hope you will be encouraged as you read and pray through these incredible stories and prayer requests.

As you can see from these numbers, your prayers are so powerful, and we covet them again in the month of July!
