2018-12-31: Another Year Is Dawning.

“Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be, in working or in waiting, another year with Thee”. Pray that God’s mighty power strengthens Team Expansion workers to tackle all the good works that He has created in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:10) so that we may be his poetry for the nations in the coming New Year.

2018-12-28: Praise God.

Praise God that team in Ancona Italy has opportunity to train some small groups from a local church in disciple making movement principles. The training won’t begin until the New Year, but be praying that God would prepare the hearts of those in the small groups with excitement and eagerness to put into practice what they will learn; and that they would see a God-inspired movement.
“O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree, in plainness you were growing
Until we came and brought you here and set your branches glowing.
Your living beauty helps us see how clothed with Christ our lives can be
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, you live our eyes to heaven.”

2018-12-12: O Come Let Us Adore Him.

“O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!” Celebrating what God has done throughout the year is a part of Team Expansion’s annual Christmas festivities. International Services staff meet together for Celebration Day to praise God for equipping, enabling and empowering tasks to be completed and goals to be met that ultimately make an impact on the 6,900 unreached people groups in the world.

2018-12-10: Good Christian Men Rejoice.

“Good Christian Men Rejoice with heart and soul and voice”. God continues to increase ethnic minority populations to our doorstep. Pray for outreach that is bold and confident, but sensitive and culturally appropriate. Those from other religions face many issues and obstacles to accepting the Gospel, including pressures from family and community and threats of rejection or violence. Pray that Christians will help those from ethnic minority communities to follow Christ within their own cultural context as much as possible.

2018-12-01: Joy to the World!

“Joy to the World! The Lord is come: Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room…” This is the message for all nations to hear. Praise God for Team Expansion workers world-wild spreading this Good News of great joy for all people. Ask God to prepare hearts to receive the message of salvation, peace and joy.

2018-11-30: Sing and Dance.

Sing and dance in praise before the King of Kings and LORD of Lords. “The LORD will reign forever and ever.” Give thanks for this promise and assurance that God has all authority, rule and power for establishing His kingdom (Ex 15:18). Give thanks that our God reigns.
