Sunday Songs Series: “Go Light Your World”

Matthew 5:16

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

All throughout our Sunday Songs Series, I have been planning to share the link for “Go Light Your World.” I first heard this song at the beginning of my freshman year in college. In one of the early chapels that fall, this song was played as any students who had been on mission trips the previous summer carried in flags from around the world to line up across the platform. It was very special to participate in this powerful visual reminder of the Great Commission.

Because today is Mother’s Day, I considered featuring another song. However, my own mom exemplified the words of “Go Light Your World,” so I am going ahead and posting it today as a tribute to her. I have never known another lady who did more to light her world for Jesus out of sheer love for Him, whether in her home with her children, teaching in churches and Christian schools, giving financially to countless ministries, initiating home missions projects, or serving on the foreign field. She was a very active participant with the TGP ministry.

Today, wherever each of us are, may we light our world for Him.

Listen to “Go Light Your World”:

Pray for a dozen mothers to be saved across the USA today.
Pray for the Lord to call a dozen people to take His light to foreign fields.
Pray for the Lord to encourage a dozen Christians who feel like their light isn’t making a difference.

Special Request

Please pray for a church outreach this morning to attendees and participants of the Battenkill Bike Race in the village of Cambridge, New York. Pray for the Lord to give the members of Open Bible Baptist Church opportunities to share the gospel at this event, and for someone to trust Christ as Savior. Pray also for the Lord to keep the rain away so that the outreach can occur.

Alcochete, Portugal

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Alcochete.

Alcochete is a port city of 20,000 people with no evangelical church. An American family and a Brazilian family are teaming up to start a church there. Pray for the Lord to use them to establish a church that will continue until His return.
Pray for many residents of this apartment complex to come to faith in Christ.
Pray for those who love the untameable vastness of the sea to know the God in Whose hand it resides. (Isaiah 40:12)

John 12:46

This post was originally published on July 18, 2021. The church planting effort described in the first prayer request was from missionaries visiting my church who were working to raise support to go. Unfortunately, I do not remember their names, so I do not know if they made it to Alcochete. An internet search does not show a new church there. Pray for the Lord to bless the two families mentioned, and for a church to indeed start in Alcochete.

Myanmar Earthquake Update

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Myanmar.

TGP’s April 1 post highlighted the devastating March 28 Myanmar earthquake. Today’s post is an update on what Christians are doing on the ground to extend Christ’s love to the spiritually and physically needy. Please continue to pray for the people of Myanmar!

El Camino, Spain

Pray for the Lord to send workers to the harvestfield of El Camino.

*Photo from Sean Dietrich’s Facebook page*

El Camino is a famous European pilgrimage path leading to the alleged burial site of the bones of James (the first martyr of the early curch). Over 400,000 people registered their pilgrimage on El Camino in 2024. Pray for a Biblical church in rural Spain to establish a gospel outreach to pilgrims, who choose to walk for reasons including everything from recreation to spirituality.
Pictured above is a photo from this morning’s travel post by author Sean Dietrich, well into the El Camino pilgrimage he and his wife are walking. Based on his past words about Jesus, he unfortunately does not believe in the exclusive truth of John 14:6. Pray for that to change.
Pray for a child in rural Spain to trust Jesus as Savior today.
