Paul writes to the church of Corinth about the Body of Christ and how God calls all kinds of people and appoints them with specific gifts to serve and be part of the Body. Each part has a specific responsibility, just as the human body has many parts and each part serves a specific function. These gifts are all given by God though his Holy Spirit. No part is more important than another and all parts are interdependent. And they all work together to fulfill the ultimate task which is to glorify God and to make his name known among all nations.
In the same way, the Lord creates body-like ministry structures, constituted by people with different gifts, talents, and skill sets that serve the calling of those ministries. Paragraph 37 of the World Mission Prayer League’s Handbook states it this way:
“Our structures for mission must reflect this dynamic interdependence: the relationship of full-time workers abroad and praying partners at home. The fellowship of praying partners may support the work of the Mission financially. They may volunteer for service, too: out of their number come our leadership, our Council and committee members, project workers, office staff, representatives, and other volunteers. Most significant of all, they have pledged themselves to uphold our shared work in prayer. We believe that the mission of God has enlisted our entire community together.”
Our Services Team, which includes our Business Office, Properties Management, Housing, and IT, is one of those ministry structures that, along with other teams, are part of the World Mission Prayer League. We are a group of full-time workers with different skill sets and responsibilities. While we are involved in various administrative and supporting tasks, we also recognize our commitment to prayer.
As some workers are called to join our organization and others are led to move on, we currently find ourselves needing to fulfill two important roles: Staff Accountant and Maintenance Technician. As a praying community, we pray to the Lord of the harvest for his abundant and perfect provision. We trust that he will call and appoint the appropriate people for these roles. As a vital part of this ministry body called the World Mission Prayer League, we invite you to pray with us for these specific needs.
We praise the Lord for his provision for the month of June and are pleased to report that all World Mission Prayer League workers were able to receive full allowances and benefits. Thank you for your generous giving and your partnership in prayer!
