As followers of Christ we ask, “What would Jesus do?  How can we follow His example?”  In the Scripture, we see that Jesus prayed for 40 days and nights before he started His earthly ministry.  He taught the disciples to pray.  He prayed in isolated places.  At the end of his life He prayed during the night in the Garden of Gethsemane.  He prayed on the cross!  

Jesus certainly considered prayer as His central and most important strategy.  Jesus was a busy man, yet He often withdrew himself from public, from work, so that He could pray.  

How about us, who work in JCS or its projects?  Would we consider prayer as our best strategy, from beginning to end?  Is prayer the vessel to help us through deep waters, the work before all our other works begin?  Is it the work to conclude all our earthly works?    

This year on March 30th the Mongolian Church launched its 365/24 hours’ Mongolia Prayer Movement.  This will continue till March 2013.  We are encouraged to see the Mongolian Church challenging one another to pray 24 hours daily, for the whole year, for repentance, unity, and renewal.  You are welcome to join our Mongolian brothers and sisters in their venture of 365/24 hours’ prayer movement by taking time to pray personally or in groups.  They will also have their National Prayer Day on May 17th.  

On this National Prayer Day JCS will kick off our Third Global 40 Hours of Prayer for Mongolia.  Please read the notice below.  May this time help us look beyond the physical needs to the spiritual needs of the nation.  Please join us wherever you are, to lift up Mongolia in this prayer vigil.

Remember Jesus’ Parable of the Persistent Widow.  To pray is to say we need Him in everything we do.  To pray is to say we trust Him for all our results.

Beyond Physical Needs
