Day Of Prayer - April 2026

Prayer requests, praise reports & monthly devotional

Urgent Prayers Needed For The Field in all regions:

MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL

Led by the Spirit

Galatians 4:22–28 draws us into the striking contrast between two covenants—one born of human effort and bondage, the other of divine promise and freedom. For those laboring in the harvest fields of the nations, this distinction is not merely theological; it is deeply practical. Like Abraham, there is always a temptation to “help God along,” to rely on strategy, structure, and sheer endurance to produce spiritual fruit. Yet the child of promise was not born through human striving, but through God’s intervention. So too, the work of reaching the lost cannot ultimately be sustained or made fruitful by the strength of the flesh, but only by the Spirit who gives life.
