I will conclude my series "One Prayer at a Time" following the completion of Prayer-10 (P10). My next three (3) prayer request will come from Mark Watson's article, "3 Ways to Pray for Church Plants".
Today, I would like to ask you to pray the following:
Pray for Encouragement and Perserverance - Prayer-7 (P7)
According to Mark Watson's article, one (1) of three (3) things to pray for when it comes to church plants are as follows:
When it comes to planting churches, people like to ask Craig Querfeld what his secret is. He responds, “What secret? I’m just stubborn.” He adds, “You just have to keep knocking on the doors.”
Planting churches means running services with the help of perhaps one or two other people. It means being on call for the people who need you. It means enduring while the numbers are low and using resources wisely when numbers are high.
“Pray that we would be encouraged even in the small things, because we don’t often see big things happening, and that can be discouraging,” Christina says.
Keith asks, “Pray that we won’t quit. Church planting is like a rollercoaster ride: There are many ups and downs. The downs can be longer and harder. Pray that we will have fruit that will remain.”
Pray that we will be encouraged and perservere.
