Prayer for Missions

At various points in the book of Acts, Luke slows down the narrative and provides a snapshot of a key moment in the life of the church. In Acts 1:14 we receive the first of these snapshots and this one spotlights the church on its knees in prayer. Positioned as it is in the context after Christ's charge to be witnesses unto the ends of the earth, this passage shows the church's response to that charge, praying with one mind and with great devotion for empowerment for missions.
