Prayer is at the heart of mission.
It is about a personal and corporate relationship with God, creator and sustainer of the universe. We don't have to look far to see that prayer has preceded great revivals and mission efforts in the biblical story as well as throughout the history of the church. George and Tobia Veith, mission workers in Macau with the Commission on Overseas Mission and Mennonite Board of Missions, relate how nine years ago when they first went to Hong Kong, prayer was tacked on to their weekly team business meetings. The call to Macau was processed in this context. Citywide reconciliation and forgiveness between pastors was also pivotal.
