Daylon & Lynda Hicks have been involved in missions since they surrendered in 1967.  They worked with African-Americans, both before and after a seventeen-year ministry in Haiti.  While in Haiti, Bro. Hicks translated the New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs into the Haitian Creole language, as well as establishing local, indigenous churches.  Bro. Hicks has a Bachelors and Masters degree in Ministry from Covington Theological Seminary, and Doctor of Ministry from The American Baptist College and Seminary. One of their burdens in recent years, has been the lack of mission personnel.

Another burden is that two-thirds of the world's population is closed to traditional missions, either because the country is closed or ethnic groups are closed to missions.  These burdens directed them to start challenging people to pray specifically for individual countries.  They also developed a prayer guide that guides in praying for the entire world throughout the year.  They encourage people to print out the prayer guide and to use it to pray for the world, so that the gospel may reach into all those thousands of people groups around the world.
