“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.” (2 Cor 5:14) Team Expansion is compelled to reach the unreached with the Good News of Jesus. Christ’s love compels us to pray extraordinarily, to engage and mobilize, to coach and train, to excel and build capacity. Praise God for His compelling love, and pray that Team Expansion continues to move forward in effectiveness for His Kingdom.
2017-02-18: Neither Circumcision Nor Uncircumcision.
“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.” (Galatians 5:6) Jesus values faith that expresses itself through love. Praise God for the Team Expansion family dotting the globe making their statements of faith in loving ways. Pray for lasting fruit among the orphans of Philippines, Romania, and Taiwan, among the Syrian refugees, among the Chinese Diaspora, among those who have disabilities in Africa, among the barrios of South America, among universities and high schools in Europe, and among elementary students in North Africa and West Africa.
2017-02-17: Greater Love.
“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)
Many Team Expansion families put their lives at risk for the spread of the Gospel. Give thanks for these committed workers. Ask God to reign in their hearts as they love and serve in His name.
2017-02-16: Love Each Other.
“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” (John 15:12) There are Team Expansion workers who have been doing abundant seed sowing for many unproductive years. Pray that 2017 would be a year that these fields would gain traction in difficult areas and a disciple making movement would take root.
2017-02-15: Remain in My Love.
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.” (John 15:9)

2017-02-14: DMMs.
“And he has given us this command: whoever loves God must also love his brother.” (1 John 4:21) Team Expansion is all about disciple making movements because we love our brother who may not know about God’s loving gift to the world.
2017-02-13: Praise God for Workers in Sensitive Fields.
“If anyone says, “I love God”, yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.” (1 John 4:20)
Praise God for the Team Expansion workers serving in sensitive fields where Islam, Buddhism, or Hinduism have strongholds. Pray that these workers endure and their love for God and people is evident. Pray that Jesus would reveal Himself and His love would conquer.
2017-02-12: We Love Because He First Loved Us.
“We love because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19). One of Team Expansion’s goal is to engage the global church and one way of doing that is through PACE program and projects. Praise God for PACE lead churches who have love overflowing for unreached peoples and are determined to take the message to them. Praise God for PACE commitment has not wavered through many years, many changes of various church staff and members. Pray for more churches to commit to PACE with a passion for the unreached.
2017-02-11: There Is No Fear in Love.
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear; because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18) Praise God for allowing Team Expansion workers to be safe and endure persecution. God has given workers wisdom in situations because God is the great protector. Pray that those under persecution would be fearless and bold in their witness for Jesus Christ.
2017-02-10: Love Is Made Complete Among Us.
“In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.” (1 John 4:17) This is an IT world we live in. Team Expansion is striving to utilize technology in the best way to communicate God’s love to people with no access to the Gospel. Praise God for social media, websites, satellite TV, and radio with Christian content and programming that is impacting those seeking Truth. Pray for masses to receive the Gospel, to be obedient to Jesus, and be made complete in His love.
