Praise God for committed workers serving in places where Islam is the predominant religion. They are ministering and making a difference in the lives of people with Muslim backgrounds. Pray for workers and Pathways interns serving this summer in the Middle East to make an impact for Christ

Praise the Lord for preparing a team of Pathways interns to serve among unreached people in Africa this summer. Ask God to multiply the efforts of the harvest workers as they utilize the help of the interns so that many more may have opportunity to hear the message of Jesus and give their lives fully to Him as Lord and Savior.

Praise God for raising up young men and women to serve in Pathways, Team Expansion’s summer internship program. This year there are are 19 interns going out to cross-cultural locations and 2 serving in the International Services office.

Pray for teams of interns serving alongside harvest workers in two countries of Europe to be effective in sharing the Good News of Jesus.

 Today is Global Day of Prayer. Lift the nations before the Lord.

Leadership Task Force endorsed Team Expansion for moving forward on an initiative to utilize a unique fundraising approach for Phase 2 at Emerald Hills. Pray fervently that God will guide in this pursuit.

The Leadership Task Force analyzed Team Expansion’s financial situation during the LTF Retreat in March. They were particularly amazed by the fact that every single dollar invested in Emerald Hills thus far has come from designated gifts – Praise God.

God is doing great things through the Kairos course. Team Expansion has held 19 new Facilitator Trainings with 102 participants and 5 Head Facilitator Trainings with 22 total participants. God has made it a great year by every measure.

Kairos facilitators that happen to be Team Expansion workers (and those they have trained) staged 42 different Kairos courses with a total of 435 participants. We give all the glory to God for this multiplication.

Praise God that Team Expansion is now a combined force of 340 full time workers, serving in 75 different teams.

Praise God for the 53 new churches planted in 2013, and an average weekly worship attendance (at the combined 493 churches planted by Team Expansion and its partners) of 16,821!
