Baptists encouraged to stop, pray at 10:02 on Oct. 2

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — On Oct. 2, Southern Baptists are encouraged to take time to pray for pastors and missionaries engaged in spreading the gospel worldwide. The special day, including a webcast, is part of the North American Mission Board’s (NAMB) TenTwo prayer emphasis based on Jesus’ call in Luke 10:2 to pray for more workers in the harvest field.
NAMB President Kevin Ezell, International Mission Board President David Platt and Southern Baptist Convention President Ronnie Floyd will lead the TenTwo webcast.
The half-hour prayer webcast — to begin at 10:02 a.m. Eastern time Oct. 2 — can be viewed at www.namb.net/tentwo and will be archived for future viewing at the same site.
“There is absolutely no substitute for prayer in any facet of life,” Ezell said. “Prayer is the primary, fundamental need in any missions endeavor. I would not think of taking any action without God’s counsel. And TenTwo is a daily reminder that living life on mission includes praying for others as God sends them to the missions field.”
