Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Seca chapter 2 verse 11 and many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day and shall be my people.

And I will dwell in your midst and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to

you. Here again is a promise that many nations shall join

themselves to the Lord. We see this over and over through Scripture and I just

want to point it out over and over again through Scripture that the global purpose of

God is not just confined to a couple of

verses here or there that talk about missions like we kind of try to

compartmentalize missions to kind of here and there in the Bible.

No, no, no. Our God has a global mission that is clear in scripture from cover to cover on page after page after page.

The whole point, the whole purpose of God is to bring many nations to join themselves to God. This is why we pray for the

spread of the gospel to the nations. This is why we pray often for specific people groups, nations, ethnic groups that have not yet been reached with the gospel because this is the word of God.

He has promised to bring many nations. He's purpose to bring all the people's languages tribes to worship him

So we pray for the accomplishment of his purposes. That's what we do.

God has ordained our prayers to be a means by which that's accomplished and our lives.

Like I think about, one of the first times I went to an unreached area where the gospel had not yet gone and one of the people groups

near there was called the No Sioux people and they little to no knowledge of the gospel.

And our whole goal in going to this area was to bring the gospel for the first time.

Like we had literature and the language of those people.

Now it was not legal to share the gospel with them,

so we were creative and how we did this but we

basically took literature in their language that shared the gospel and we used creative means to make it known.
