The Church Overseas — Missionaries (3)
Book of Common OrderAlmighty God, who hast called the Church out of the world that she might bring the world to thee: Make her faithful, we beseech thee, in the work thou hast entrusted to her hands. Bless and uphold thy servants who are gone forth in her name to preach the gospel in distant lands; be with them in weariness and painfulness, in discouragement and persecution; endue them with power from on high; and so prosper their labours by thy Holy Spirit that the time may be hastened when all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
