A Prayer for the Mission of the Church
Draw your Church together, O Lord,
into one great company of disciples,
together following our Lord Jesus Christ into every
walk of life, together serving him in his mission to the world,
and together witnessing to his love on every continent and island.
We ask this in His name and for His sake. Amen.
