Engaging the global church is part of ministry through Team Expansion. Praise God for the fruitful church planting trainings aimed at multiplying disciples who make disciples and equipping them to plant simple churches that plant churches. Thank God for the local Christians who participated, for their strong faith and courage to immediately put into practice what they learned.
2017-04-26: Learning How to Make Disciples Who Make Disciples.
Pray for those who will be learning how to make disciples who will make disciples and thereby see church planting and disciple making movements abound.
2017-04-25: Jonathan Training.
Jonathan Training takes its name from Jonathan of 1 Samuel 14, where we learn that Saul’s son Jonathan and his armor bearer rely on the LORD to give the Philistines into their hands. Jonathan faced many challenges but trusted in the LORD for success. Pray that participants in Jonathan Training would face challenges with confidence in the LORD, not just during training, but when they go back to their respective spheres of influence in order to make disciples and plant churches.
2017-04-24: Engage the Global Church.
One way for Team Expansion to engage the global church is to host Jonathan Training. Participants are trained in principles of disciple making and immediately experience and practice those principles. Pray that God will embolden His church to make disciples.
2017-04-23: Teaming Up with God.
Teaming up with God in His mission means participating with Him in making disciples of all nations. His people can do that through the practice of going, the practice of welcoming, the practice of sending, and the practice of mobilizing. Ask God to re-new awareness in His people with an urgency of obeying Jesus’s mandate to make disciples of all ethnicities.
2017-04-23: Praise God for Local Churches.
Praise God for local churches who partner with Team Expansion in order to spread the Good News of Jesus among unreached peoples. Ask God to empower churches to become involved in adopting a people group in order to start disciple making movements through PACE Projects.
2017-04-21: Engage the Global Church.
Team Expansion wants to engage the global church for God’s plan for the nations. Ask God to work through church partnerships to establish disciple making movements among peoples without any connection with Jesus. “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17.
2017-04-20: How Can They Call On One They Have Not Believed In?
“How can they call on the one they have not believed in? How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? How can they hear without someone preaching to them? How can they preach unless they are sent?…How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” (Romans 10:14-15). Ask God to guide the footsteps of believers to homes and workplaces of non-believers. Ask God’s Spirit to give believers special words to share that are relevant to individual situations.
2017-04-19: Have You Ever Wondered?
Have you ever wondered how you could be involved in multiplying disciples in your church, group, and town? Zume (pronounced ZOO-may) opened for business on Feb 14. The business of Zume is to help you be effective at living out the Great Commission, starting in your hometown! To learn more go to www.ZumeProject.com and pray about whom you might invite to take part in a group.
2017-04-18: A House of Prayer for the Nations.
Jesus, quoting the prophet Isaiah, said in Mark 11:17, “My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Is the church today engaged in praying for the nations to know Jesus as Savior and Lord? Team Expansion aligns her desire with Jesus’s desire to see every ethnic group represented in heaven. Pray for the local church to be bold in outreach to the foreigner, to multiply and mobilize the mission force, and to pray for the salvation of the nations.
