A Prayer for the Bibleless
Intercede for those still waiting for access to God’s Word in their heart language.
Now you know that Bibleless people groups exist. You know they have no Scripture in their own language. You know they are many and you know they live in all the major regions of the world.
They are waiting.
Right now, you can do something—a simple, but powerful act. Join with us today in praying this single prayer on their behalf.
Father, You loved the world so much that You gave Your one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.You sent Jesus into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him (John 3:16). Your Word tells us that through Christ, You forgave all our sins. You canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross (Colossians 2:13-14, NLT).
But the Bibleless peoples of the world do not have access to Your Word—so how can they know the freedom that is ours in Christ? Father, Your Word says that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” (Romans 10:13-15, NLT).
Lord God, send Your workers among the Bibleless peoples of the world—“that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent” (John 17:3, NIV). We ask You to draw all people to You. May they come to You with their ears wide open, that they may listen and find life (Isaiah 55:3, NLT). Show them the way of life, granting them the joy of Your presence, and the pleasures of living with You forever (Psalm 16: 11, NLT).
