AN ORDER OF SERVICE FOR MISSION WORK IN OTHER LANDS
**This form of Service is intended for those who are about to set out for Mission Work in other lands.
**Our Lord sent forth His disciples to preach the Gospel and heal the sick (Matthew 10; Mark 6: 7; Luke 9 and 10). We are asked to sow the seed at morning, at noonday and when the shadows fall, and to leave the harvest in Higher Hands (Zodiac). This is the theme of the Service.

LET US PRAY:
IN the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
HEAVENLY FATHER, we know that through Thy love all creeds and races of mankind are blended together into one great family to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. We pray Thee to strengthen the endeavours of all missionaries who go into other lands to bring the light of Thy Truth to those who are in the darkness of doubt. Grant that through the words they use, and the love in their hearts, they may be able to take to all men the beauty and the peace of Thy Son's teaching. Inspire them by Thy Holy Spirit, uplift them by Thy Heavenly Grace and strengthen them with Thy Holy Power, that they may go forth into the Mission Field to spread Thy work of Truth and Love. Amen.
