(USA)–And, more than 100 Southern Baptist Seminary students recently participated in a 24-hour prayer vigil for global missions. It was part of the seminary’s Great Commission Week — a period of special emphasis on missions. Prayer focused mainly on the students who will go from the seminary to the mission field this summer for missions trips. Participants said they were encouraged by seeing others in prayer and convicted because it is a reminder that missions work is ultimately dependent upon the sovereign hand of God.
