AMEN. Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your name. AMEN.
5 Prayers of the People for Mission In peace, let us pray to the Lord our God. For the growth of God s Kingdom throughout the world, For the ministry of the Holy Church of God to make disciples of all nations, For all baptized Christians, that they may discern their vocation to spread the Gospel at all times and in all places, For all who have not yet heard or believed in the Gospel, and those who may have the opportunity to declare it to them, For the Anglican Global Mission Partners, [and,] and all whose ministry it is to respond to human need and suffering and for all who preach the Gospel and teach the truth, For an increase in evangelism and ministries of mercy in our local community and abroad, that all people may come to know and enjoy your blessings, For greater awareness of the persecuted Churches and the injustices that they endure, For the poor, the hungry, and the oppressed people of the world, and all who suffer for the sake of the Gospel,
