Join us this November as we pray for the nations and those taking the Gospel to the hardest-to-reach places on earth. Each day offers a focused opportunity to intercede for the lost, the unreached, and those serving on the frontlines of faith and compassion.
The Great Commission Society (GCS) operates in 125 nations, serving some of the worldโs most vulnerable communities through evangelism, discipleship, and humanitarian engagement.
From the war zones of Ukraine to the schools of East Africa, our teams bring both help and hope, working hand in hand with local partners and volunteers from around the world.
We are now inviting new volunteers to join us, people with a heart to serve, teach, translate, or simply care. Whether you can give a week, a month, or a season, there is a place for you on the front line of faith and compassion.
This October, we invite you to stand with us in daily, intentional prayer for the nations.
Each dayโs entry highlights a specific need, from war zones and refugee camps to university campuses and digital frontiers, where the Gospel is going forward. Youโll be joining a global prayer movement lifting up the lost, the unreached, the persecuted, and those faithfully carrying Christโs name to the ends of the earth.
The international GCS team and the GCS Tanzania ground team based in Mwanza are working shoulder-to-shoulder in an intensive 2-week outreach across Ukerewe Island and the Lake Victoria region. This united effort blends global experience with local leadership to bring the Gospel into schools, marketplaces, and open-air gatherings.
In the first half of the mission we have:
โ๏ธ Shared the Gospel with many thousands of students, with whole schools gathering outdoorsโsome standing in the midday sun, others beneath treesโto listen and respond.
โ๏ธ Seen an overwhelming number of young people indicate a desire to follow Christ, many moved to tears. We pray these commitments will be genuine and enduring, nurtured by local pastors and churches.
โ๏ธ Partnered with regional pastors and church leaders determined to reach other islands on Lake Victoria and carry the Gospel deeper into Mwanza and beyond.
This spiritual breakthrough is matched by critical practical needs:
โช๏ธSwahili Bibles โ Few students own a Bible. We have given a small number of English Bibles, but the greatest need is Godโs Word in the Swahili language, where costs to source and import are high.
โช๏ธ School essentials โ Many schools lack clean water, proper toilets, and basic sports equipment, vital for healthy learning environments and relationship-building.
โช๏ธ Church training and materials โ Local churches need discipleship tools and evangelism training to sustain the Gospel advance long after this mission ends.
1๏ธโฃ Give: Help us provide Swahili Bibles, school resources, and church training materials so every community can receive and live out Godโs Word.
2๏ธโฃ Pray: Stand with us in prayer for lasting fruit, protection, and strength as our teams serve.
3๏ธโฃ Go: Consider joining a future GCS short-term mission team to serve directly in schools, markets, and open-air outreaches.
Together we can ensure that the seeds planted here take root and flourish, bringing the life-changing hope of Jesus Christ across Tanzania and the Lake Victoria region.

Distraction is everywhere. Even in evangelism, we can get caught up in politics, debates, or self-promotion. But the Gospel is not about those things. Itโs about Jesus.
Paul said, โWe preach Christ crucifiedโ (1 Corinthians 1:23). The good news is Jesus, crucified, risen, reigning. If people leave impressed with you but untouched by Him, youโve missed it.
Weโre not the light; weโre the lampstand. Our job is to point clearly to Christ.
๐๐๐๐๐ + ๐๐
Stay sharp: practice sharing the gospel in a few sentences.
Cut the noise: donโt get sidetracked, bring it back to Jesus.
Check your heart: are you pointing to Him, or to you?
๐๐๐๐
Jesus, strip away distractions. Keep me centred on You. Let everything, I say and do point people to You. Amen.
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
Evangelism takes patience. Seeds donโt sprout overnight. Sometimes you pray and share for years before anything happens. Discouragement whispers, โWhatโs the point?โ But God says, โDonโt give up.โ
โLet us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give upโ (Galatians 6:9). Our job is to sow and water. God makes it grow.
Delay doesnโt mean failure; it means Godโs timing. Hidden seeds often grow into the strongest trees.
๐๐๐๐๐ + ๐๐
3 โ 5 Names 3-5: write them down and start praying daily. Donโt stop.
Donโt be shy to explain the Gospel to them.
Play long game: think decades, not days.
๐๐๐๐
God, give me grit. Keep me going when I see nothing. Teach me to trust Your timing and sow with hope. Amen.
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
Talking about Jesus shows up our weakness fast. We stumble, forget, or freeze. Thatโs not a flaw, itโs Godโs design.
โWe have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to usโ (2 Corinthians 4:7). Our role is to speak faithfully; His Spirit convicts and saves (John 16:8). His Word cuts deeper than any argument (Hebrews 4:12).
That means even a shaky, nervous testimony can be used mightily by God. The pressureโs off, you donโt save anyone. He does.
๐๐๐๐๐ + ๐๐
Breathe + pray: โLord, give me Your words.โ
Keep the Gospel simple: explain it in 2 to 4 points.
Tell it real: your story of how Jesus met you, raw and honest.
๐๐๐๐
Lord, I canโt change anyone, but You can. Help me lean on Your Spirit and Word. Use my weakness to show Your strength. Amen.
๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
The world is full of people searching for peace and meaning, and yet living without Christ. The greatest obstacle to evangelism isnโt opportunity, itโs hesitation. Fear of rejection, awkwardness, or comfort keep us quiet.
When Jesus looked at the crowds, โHe had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherdโ (Matthew 9:36). Thatโs how He sees your friends, classmates, co-workers, even people scrolling your feed. His call isnโt โwhen you feel readyโ, itโs โgo now.โ
True willingness comes from love, for Christ and for people. The question isnโt โShould I share?โ but โWill I obey?โ
๐๐๐๐๐ + ๐๐
Ask better: โHow are you really?โ and listen.
One chance: pray for one open door this week and walk through it.
Carry light: keep one verse or story ready to share.
๐๐๐๐
Jesus, make me willing. Break through my hesitation. Help me see people like You do and move me to act. Amen.
This September, we invite you to stand with us in daily, intentional prayer for the nations.
Each dayโs entry highlights a specific need, from war zones and refugee camps to university campuses and digital frontiers, where the Gospel is going forward. Youโll be joining a global prayer movement lifting up the lost, the unreached, the persecuted, and those faithfully carrying Christโs name to the ends of the earth.
Inspiring prayer for the Great Commission every day of the month.
