As a fellowship in God’s mission, CMS firmly believes that gospel ministry involves people working together in a partnership based on prayer. Mission belongs to God and everything depends on him. Therefore, trusting and persevering prayer is central to all that we are and all that we do.
Here are some ideas to help you pray individually or with your church or group. Please join us in praying daily for the work of CMS as we share God’s vision of a world that knows Jesus!
Every lunchtime, the CMS Vic Staff Team pray our special vision 2024 prayer, which asks the Lord to send 24 CMS Victoria missionary units by 2024.

The CMS Prayer Diary is the ‘directory’ of staff and missionaries. Many people in the CMS family—members, supporters, churches—use it to help them pray each day for CMS. The Prayer Diary also contains contact details for most missionaries, so it’s a valuable resource if you’d like to encourage them with an email.
Each month, we publish an update with recent prayer points from all our missionaries. These work alongside the Prayer Diary to give you up-to-date information about what each missionary would specifically like prayer for. You can subscribe to the Monthly Prayer Points and receive them in either hard or soft copy.
Another great way you can support CMS is to subscribe to prayer updates from a particular missionary. You will receive regular newsletters and prayer points from them, allowing you to pray and care for them more specifically while they serve God in cross-cultural mission.
PrayerMate is an app that helps prompt you to pray. You can follow our daily prayer points by downloading the PrayerMate App at your app store and subscribing to CMS Australia.
