Pray for Us

"No doubt by praying we learn to pray, and the more we pray the oftener we can pray, and the better we can pray. He who prays in fits and starts is never likely to attain to that effectual, fervent prayer which availeth much.

Great power in prayer is within our reach, but we must go to work to obtain it. Let us never imagine that Abraham could have interceded so successfully for Sodom if he had not been all his lifetime in the practice of communion with God.

Jacob's all-night at Peniel was not the first occasion upon which he had met his God. We may even look upon our Lord's most choice and wonderful prayer with His disciples before His Passion as the flower and fruit of His many nights of devotion, and of His often rising up a great while before day to pray.

If a man dreams that he can become mighty in prayer just as he pleases, he labors under a great mistake. The prayer of Elijah which shut up heaven and afterwards opened its floodgates, was one of long series of mighty prevailings with God. Oh, that Christian men would remember this! Perseverance in prayer is necessary to prevalence in prayer.

Those great intercessors, who are not so often mentioned as they ought to be in connection with confessors and martyrs, were nevertheless the grandest benefactors of the Church; but it was only by abiding at the mercy-seat that they attained to be such channels of mercy to men. We must pray to pray, and continue in prayer that our prayers may continue."

C.H. Spurgeon,
quoted in Streams in the Desert, 1925

Believing that prayer must be both the spiritual foundation and the enabling power of the work of Commission International, 10,000 Pueblos is the name we have given to our effort to recruit prayer partners for CI and link them to specific ministry and church planting efforts in Argentina. We are asking churches and individuals in the US to partner with CI in prayer for our work which will begin in Cordoba in 2006 and for the 10,000 towns of Argentina and surrounding regions that do not have a Biblical witness for Christ. We want to pray for pastors and leaders who are seeking to reach those towns with the Gospel.
