40 Days of Praying - Day 1

Day 1 - The Great Commission
Pray for our church family to become even more a "Great Commission" church. Pray God will lead us to more people make and mature disciples of Jesus.

Today we begin praying in a very specific way for the Golf Course Road church. There are so many places where we could focus our energy. One of the challenges is focusing at all. But we believe that God would have us be church that goes. We believe that we have to be a church that thinks about, plans for and acts for the priceless people who are not now followers of Jesus. We want to grow here. We want to be more missional, more active, less selfish and less passive. We want to be followers and make followers--wherever and however we need to.

God, help us recognize that you are Lord of all the earth. Help us know deep in our hearts that there is nothing you can't do, no one you can't reach. Help us know that you go with us. Help us leave what we know and go where you call us. Help us be men and women who do what Jesus commanded. And help us lead others to the same living water we have drunk deeply from.

Grace.

Tod!

Thank you for providing a link to the Life Group blog. For a guy who tries to inter-relate everything and maybe I am so busy trying to do that that I miss out on what I am supposed to be doing....

“we believe that God would have us be a church that goes.” The name of the Torah reading for this week is BO [not a spelling error]. When God spoke to Moses and told him to go to Pharaoh.
