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!

There is power in prayer. We know this to be true, but do we allow it to influence the way we pray? This month as you read through the Prayerlink, remember how powerful your prayers can be. 1 John 5:14-15 says, "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."

You can impact the world without leaving your home. The results of the fervent and passionate prayers of Christians are being seen every day around the world. As you read the Prayerlink daily prayer requests and bring them before your heavenly father, God is moving and you can see the results.
