Episode 293: Agonize With Me. What the Bible Says About Praying for Those on the Mission Field

Do you want to pray for missionaries but don't know where to start — or wonder if it even makes a difference? In this episode of Fuel for the Harvest, Nathan sits down with fellow Forge speaker Santiago Fuentes, joining all the way from Mexico City, for one of the most theologically rich and practically helpful conversations the podcast has ever had on the topic of prayer. From a deep dive into Colossians 4 to a list of real ministries you can follow today, this episode will challenge you to stop treating prayer like a spiritual band-aid — and start treating it like the powerful act of devotion it actually is. In this episode, Nathan and Santiago Fuentes cover: Why God answers prayer — and what we miss when we don't pray The difference between God being limited and us limiting our own experience of GodA powerful breakdown of Colossians 4:2-4 and what it means to truly "devote yourself to prayer"What the Apostle Paul asked for from prison — and why it wasn't what you'd expect Three specific categories of people to pray for: unreached people groups, persecuted believers, and missionaries themselves Trusted ministries to follow for fresh, specific prayer requests: Open Doors, Voice of the Martyrs, and the Joshua Project Why Billy Graham's answer to "how can I help your ministry?" was always the same one word Santiago Fuentes is a bilingual Forge speaker available to speak at your event.
