Almighty God, you planted in your servant Ludwig Nommensen a burning desire to take the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to those who had not heard it, and led him to be an apostle to the Batak people of Sumatra: Give to your church that same spirit and teach us to respect the value of the cultures into which the gospel is brought that your people may rejoice in the diverse cultures into which the gospel is brought that your people may rejoice in the diverse richness of your kingdom; through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, Now and forever. Amen
(Philip H Pfatteicher)
2 The Lord has made known his salvation;
he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
5 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and the sound of melody!
6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn
make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!
7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
the world and those who dwell in it!
8 Let the rivers clap their hands;
let the hills sing for joy together
9 before the Lord, for he comes
to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with equity.
Psalm 98 – English Standard Version
