Thank you for taking the time to pray for the nations! We know from James 5:16 that “the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” Your prayers make a huge difference in accomplishing God’s purposes on earth. Feel free to visit again during this Global Outreach week and let others know about this unique chance to pray for the nations!

For All The World: Windows
As you stand in front of one of the four windows, take a moment to focus outwardly on what God is doing around the world through our denominational family. We are part of a denomination called the Christian & Missionary Alliance, and in the Alliance, we believe that we need All of Jesus for All the World, and it takes all of us to do it. We are an Acts 1:8 family, striving to be Christ’s witnesses in our “Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” In order to reach all people, the Alliance has four main structures that equip and send out people into the least-reached places in the world. Each window represents one of these four structures: Axcess, Marketplace Ministries, CAMA, and Envision.

For All The World: Menu
Take in your hand one of the menus on the table, and open it. Select a prayer from the menu, or write in the blank space anything that your soul craves for the Lord to do. Like a master chef carefully preparing food in the kitchen, we can trust that God is working behind the scenes, preparing answers to our prayers in ways that we can’t fully understand. He’s mixing together divine wisdom, providential timing, His heart for the salvation of the lost, patience, grace, and a whole lot of love. In His perfect timing, He’ll answer our prayers according to His perfect design. Thank Him for the things He has stirred in your heart to request from Him.

For All The World: Salt
The salt shaker on the table is to remind us that Jesus called us “the salt of the earth.” Just as salt adds flavor to food, and preserves its nutritional value, God has surrounded each of us with people He wants us to impact. Ask the Lord to show you new ways that you can be salt and light to those around you.

For All The World: Diverse Fruit
In the center of the table, you can see diverse fruit from around the world. Just as God uniquely created every fruit differently, He creates people who are a beautiful tapestry of His creativity, and He loves the diverse peoples He has made. In fact, Jesus said that His second coming won’t happen until all peoples have had a chance to hear the good news of Jesus. In Matthew 24:14, Jesus said, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” In fact, one day, when we stand before the throne of God in heaven, we read in Revelation 7:9 that “a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, [will be] standing before the throne and before the Lamb.” Take some time to thank God for His creativity and for His great love for all people. Ask the Lord to increase your love so that you love people the way He does.

For All The World: Cup of Blessing
If someone else is at the table with you, we invite you to pick up the cup of blessing from the center of the table and hand it to another person, praying a blessing over them. Try saying something like, “May the Lord fill your cup to overflowing so that you can fill those around you,” or “May the Lord provide for all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:19).

For All The World: Spices
As you sit at the table, pick up the different spices that represent spices from around the world. In 2nd Corinthians 2:15, the Apostle Paul says that, “We are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.” Ask the Lord to show you if you have been the sweet aroma of Christ to those around you. If not, ask Him what needs to shift in your life so that everything you do is pleasing to Him. Spend time praying for family and friends who are close to you but far from Jesus.

For All The World: Dining Room Table
As you come to the dining room table, choose a seat, and sit down. Each placemat focuses on a different international worker, or missionary, who has been sent from Grace Church. Take time to read and imagine yourself sitting at the table with these missionaries. Pray for their needs, their relationships, and the effectiveness of their ministries. Feel free to move around the table and to sit at several spots. After you pray for the missionaries at those place settings, you can also move on to the next prayer prompt, which will include other elements at the table.

For All The World: Intro
Welcome to the 2024 GO Week Prayer Experience.
As you enter this space, we hope that you sense the Lord drawing you deeper into His heart for the world. When Jesus was about to ascend into heaven after His resurrection, He left His disciples with what we know as the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20, which says: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”. It is our joy and privilege to join with Christians around the world and throughout the centuries in making known to all people the good news of God’s plan of redemption through Jesus! One of the ways we step into the authority He’s given us is by praying. As we pray for God’s Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, He works through the prayers of His people.
We invite you to step into prayer for what God is doing here and around the world. These prayer prompts will provide an opportunity for you to intercede, or pray for others, in some fresh ways, and we pray that the Lord will meet you powerfully as you enter this time.
When you’re ready, find a place at the dining room table or in front of one of the four large windows in the room. Feel free to interact with as many placemats and prayer stations as you have time for. The following podcast episodes will give you instructions on how to interact with the various prayer stations throughout the room. As you move about the room, push play on the podcast episode that corresponds to what is in front of you.
We pray that you encounter God’s heart for the world as you take this time to pray.

Candles of Advent: Light
As you look at this rendition of a scene you’ve undoubtedly seen many times, can you use your imagination to picture yourself somewhere in this scene? What does it feel like, standing there in the snow under the starlight of a mysterious, calm sky? How does your mind process the miracle in front of you – God in the flesh, so vulnerable and small.
What would you feel? Would you laugh with joy? Would you be moved to tears? Would you stand speechless? What would you be inclined to do in response? Would you sing? Would you bow? Would you run to spread the news? Would you frantically search for a gift to bring?

Candles of Advent: Joy
As you look carefully at the third painting, Joy, ask the Holy Spirit to fill your heart with His joy–it is, afterall, a fruit of the Holy Spirit within you.

Candles of Advent: Peace
The theme of peace saturates the biblical narrative of Christmas. As you look at the second painting, entitled “Peace,” listen to these scriptures that describe the peace that Jesus came to bring on earth.

Candles of Advent: Hope
As you position yourself in front of the first painting entitled “Hope,” look carefully at the image and think about what the word “hope” means to you.
