This week’s edition is short—but for good reason! We are on Day 3 of the Ekballo Conference, a gathering where Kingdom leaders, intercessors, and mission-minded believers are being equipped to answer Jesus' command:

"Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out (ekballo) workers into his harvest field." — Matthew 9:38 (NIV)

The Greek word ekballo means to thrust out with force, to send with urgency—and this is exactly what God is doing right now in the nations!

GLOBAL MISSION: RESPONDING TO THE CALL

Across the world, we are witnessing an acceleration of missions. From the underground churches in restricted nations to the open fields of Africa and South America, the Lord is raising up an army of laborers willing to go where the Gospel has not yet been preached.

But here's the reality: the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Jesus didn't tell us to admire the harvest; He told us to pray for laborers. That means:

• Missions is not an option—it is the heart of the Great Commission.

• The sending power comes through prayer-fueled intercession.

• Every believer plays a role—whether going, sending, or interceding.

Right now, at Ekballo Conference, we are seeing people surrender to the call. Some are committing to short-term missions, others to full-time work in the field. The Holy Spirit is commissioning, and the Church must respond.

GLOBAL INTERCESSION: THE FUEL FOR THE MISSION

Intercession is the driving force behind every great missions movement. When the Moravians cried out, “May the Lamb receive the reward of His suffering,” it launched a 100-year prayer movement and global missions explosion.

Today, the Lord is rekindling the fire of strategic intercession for the nations. We must:

• Pray for the unreached—over 3 billion people have never heard the Gospel.

• Pray for missionaries—for strength, resources, and open doors.

• Pray against resistance—breaking spiritual barriers that hinder the Gospel.

At the conference, we are hearing testimonies of how prayer has opened cities and nations that were once closed. God is looking for intercessors who will stand in the gap for the nations and declare, “Here am I, Lord, send me!”

WHAT’S YOUR ROLE?

You may not be on a plane to a foreign land today, but you can be part of this Ekballo movement in these ways:

✅ Pray daily for laborers in the harvest.
✅ Support missionaries financially and through encouragement.
✅ Say YES if the Lord is stirring your heart to go.

Let’s answer the call together. The harvest is ripe. The time is now.
