Lent is the forty days that Christians have historically set aside to prepare for Easter through repentance and renewal. It gives us space to admit the struggle: though the defiant joy of Christ’s victory is ours, it came at an unimaginably great cost; though our salvation is sealed forever, we still face mortality, indwelling sin, and a fallen world.

But there is more to this struggle.

If we who have hope are to pause for a season to lament sin and death, then should we not also lament for those who have no hope? There are billions around the world who do not yet share in the victory of Easter. Perhaps Lent and missions have more in common than we’ve ever considered.

For this reason, Bradley Bell and Nathan Sloan wrote this devotional as fellow missions pastors. Each day follows a simple liturgical pattern: a Scripture reading, a brief reflection, a prayer, and—on Fridays—a guide for fasting. They wanted their local church to experience this special season with even greater significance, to be formed even more deeply by God’s global purpose for Easter, and to be sent into Pentecost with the same passion of the early church.

And now they want that for you and your church too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Needed Resource for the Missions-Minded Believer
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2023
I received an advance copy of this devotional and found it to be a timely and valuable resource for connecting the season of Lent to the believer's hopeful anticipation of the redemption of God's people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. I appreciate the authors' thoughtful survey of scriptures—from Genesis to Revelation—that shine a light on the heart of God for all nations and their gentle yet impassioned encouragement to focus our Lenten prayers and meditations on the fulfillment of God's mission. I'm praying God will use this book to align the hearts of those who read it with his own heart and so increase not only our prayers for but also our participation in his work of filling the earth with the knowledge of his glory as the waters cover the sea.
