Prayer, Retreat and Learning Center
Give thanks for technology that allows the Team Expansion family to stay connected, yet fluid.
Pray that each team member may embrace the use of new tools that is only a tiny part of building a strong sense of community, information sharing, and networking. Ask God to raise up more workers in the area of technology at Emerald Hills in order to help field workers progress in the the spread of the Gospel.
Give thanks for the Holy Spirit’s wisdom and counsel to draw up guidelines for taking the Good News of Jesus to people living in areas where evangelism is not wanted or even against the law. Ask God to lead in developing Field Ministry Plans as Team Expansion strives to launch indigenous church planting movements in new and current fields.
Give thanks for each worker (300+) who makes up the Team Expansion family. Ask God to empower Team Expansion to create a culture of community, care, and cooperation throughout International Services and fielded teams. Praise God that Emerald Hills serves a place to which missionaries can come home.
Praise God for how He inspires plans and creativity, for His guidance in preparing for events, for His wisdom and leading in launching new workers and new projects. Pray that the LORD pours out His innovation through Creative Arts in creating and completing attractive signage that effectively conveys Team Expansion’s purpose, mission, vision, values, and passions.
Rejoice in the LORD that He has placed together a quality and talented Creative Arts team within the Team Expansion family. Pray that God empowers Creative Arts to maintain, improve, and expand both internal and external communication through variety of media.
Give thanks to God for the various ways He uses technological tools for His Kingdom purposes.

Give thanks to God for raising up individuals to serve as forwarding agents for Team Expansion missionaries. Ask God to enable and guide our organization’s Financial Director in providing training and technical support for those who fill this sustaining role.
Praise the LORD for the opportunity to join Him in His mission. Ask God to keep each Team Expansion worker diligent in daily tasks so that what is done may produce fruit among peoples who haven’t yet heard the message of the King of kings.
Celebrate God’s plan of salvation for every person, for every ethnicity, for every tongue, tribe, and nation. Ask God to cause Team Expansion to excel in plans and strategies that are effective in taking the Gospel to more unreached peoples. Praise God that Emerald Hills is a hub of activity, brainstorming, learning, and praying in this direction.
Gratefully acknowledge the myriad of talents, gifts, and skills that the Lord has given to servants within Team Expansion. Pray for opportunities, as well as funding, for workers to be up-skilled so that they might in turn sharpen skills of others in fruitful practices for life, ministry, and church planting. Praise God for equipping events at Emerald Hills that lead to such up-skilling. Ask God to bless the first day of a two-week Launch program beginning at Emerald Hills today.
