Editor’s note: During Hispanic Heritage Month, the IMB is highlighting the contribution of Hispanics to global missions and celebrating the growing number of Hispanic churches committed to reaching the nations. Resources about Hispanic church missions efforts are available through the IMB [1].
During a family meal, family worship, church small group meeting, or your own devotion time, this prayer guide will lead you to pray for the lost and for your missionaries who are steadfastly present among them.
