God’s Mission Advances as We Partner in Prayer
Let's Pray Together
“Prayer is your most Christlike work,” said One Mission Society’s sixth President, Dr. Wesley Duewel. I sat under several days of his ministry in the 1990s when he visited the Canadian Maritimes, where I was pastoring, to teach prayer to spiritually hungry ministers. His teaching and influence changed everything about my prayer life.
Today, 25 years after that experience with Dr. Duewel, I serve at One Mission Society. His legacy of prayer is etched into the wall of our headquarters prayer chapel, located at the front of our building for all to see. His legacy is also a core value of OMS. Here, prayer isn’t old-fashioned religion; prayer is our legacy that continues to be our daily reality. Prayer is our most Christlike work.
We’re inviting churches across the United States to partner with us in prayer. As we partner in prayer, God’s power is unleashed to make disciples and disciple-makers locally through your church and globally through the worldwide ministries of OMS. Since the founding of One Mission Society 122 years ago, we have surrendered to the truth that only through prayer will we accomplish anything that matters to God and eternity.
Will your church partner in prayer with OMS? Please contact us to find out more at beachurchpartners@onemissionsociety.org.
We want to pray for your church as you pray for One Mission Society. Here are some of the ways OMS will serve your church through prayer:
- A dedicated church partner guide – a church partner guide will be assigned to serve your church. That person will reach out to you at least twice yearly to receive prayer updates and pray with you.
- Regular prayer – your church partner guide will pray regularly for your church and lead others at OMS to pray for your church.
- Prayer chapels – One Mission Society will hold up your church’s outreach during our regular all-staff prayer chapels.
- Join our monthly prayer gathering – your church has the opportunity to join our monthly church partners prayer gathering (launching January 2022).
- Receive mentoring – your church has the opportunity to receive mentoring on prayer from one of our World Intercessors prayer mentors.
Here are ways we ask you to incorporate prayer for our ministry in the life of your church:
- Weekend worship – regularly include us during your prayer times.
- Onsite visit – Invite One Mission Society to your church. Introduce us to the congregation and have special prayer for our work.
- Ask us – call or email the Church Partners Department, requesting prayer requests and ministry updates.
- On-campus prayer and vision retreat – visit our beautiful campus with a team and spend several days praying for our ministry. We have space to house you overnight.
- Weekly prayer – add OMS to email prayer updates.
- Prayer team – organize a special team of people who will pray specifically for OMS on a regular basis. You can do this for all the mission partners of your church.
Please consider leading your church to partner with OMS through prayer. Doing God’s work alone is tough. But as Lettie Cowman, one of our founders and author of Streams in the Desert, repeated often, “As the power increases, the strain diminishes.”
