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.
OPENING HYMN
(Appropriate: "We plough the fields and scatter.")
MINISTER:
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.
