December is upon us which means, of course, Christmas is right around the corner. And while the reason for the season truly is the wonderful gift of God giving us His one and only son to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, let's take a moment to focus on a different part of Jesus’ birth story.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host
praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:13-14 KJV

As you read through this month’s Prayerlink, let your prayers be inspired by the words of the angels!

• Give glory to God for the work He is doing through our indigenous partners.

• Pray for peace on earth – specifically for our partners living in hostile areas.

• Pray for open doors for the partners who are displaying the love of God by providing and caring for their communities.

Thank you for joining us in another month of prayer for our Indigenous Missionary Partners. This month highlights 457 people accepting Christ as their Savior. Let’s give thanks to the Lord for the work He is doing through our partners. What a joy it is that we can read these stories of salvation from all over the world.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever. Psalm 36:1

My church recently introduced “In the River” by Jesus Culture to our worship set. I must admit, even though the song has been around since 2016, I’ve never really heard it before. As I was going through our October Prayerlink and praising God for the 1,018 people that came to faith in Christ Jesus, the lyrics to this song kept playing over and over in my head.

There is a current stirring deep inside
It's overflowing from the heart of God
The flood of heaven crashing over us
The tide is rising, rising
...
We come alive in the river
