Why Ask for the Nations?

By Stuart McAlpine

"The history of missions is a history of prayer." (John R. Mott) Why is this statement true? This booklet, Why Ask for the Nations, gives a concise and precise answer, identifying biblical reasons that convince and persuade us that we are called to ask for the nations, that the words 'international' and 'intercession' cannot be separated. Like Peter, we know that God "accepts people from every nation" (Acts 10:35), and like Paul, we know that the purpose of the gospel is that "all nations might believe and obey Him". (Romans 16:26). But above all, like Jesus, we know that there are going to be "disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19), that people are going to be gathered "from the ends of the earth", (Mark 13:27) and that "a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language" are going to be standing before Him. (Revelation 7:9). We are asking for the nations, for nothing less than the fulfillment of all that has been promised and prophesied. Hopefully, this booklet will give you a biblical explanation of why we ask for the nations, that will equip you, spiritually and personally, to engage and experience such asking. "Ask ... for the nations as your inheritance ... Let the nations be awakened ... Let the earth hear the voice of the Lord" (Psalm 2:8; Joel 3:12; Isaiah 1:2).
