February Prayer Update

Pray continually.

(1 Thessalonians 5:17)

When it comes to training workers to participate in a disciple making movement, the first principle we lean into is Prayer Saturation. We firmly believe that the Spirit moves when God’s people pray. We’ve seen it both throughout Scripture and on up to our times.

This begs a question—how can you tell when something is saturated in prayer? Is it a certain number of people praying? If so, what is that number? Is 10,000 enough to pray down long-standing strongholds of the enemy? 

We’re coming to believe that prayer saturation is not a number. Rather, it means that we discern in community where we absolutely need God to move and commit to praying for those specific prayer points, until God answers or He makes clear to us that He wants us to pray for something else. 

In other words, how do we know we’ve saturated something in prayer? When God either answers or tells us to pray for something else.

We’re calling you to saturate the Mediterranean Rim, Bengal, and Emerging Leadership Initiatives in prayer! If leaders are going to emerge and movements are going to happen, we need God to:

• Move supernaturally by revealing Himself to people that are not seeking Him through dreams and visions and by connecting the workers to people of peace; 

• Develop emerging leaders who are bold, passionate, obedient, and stirred in their spirit to see the Gospel move among their people—as well as able to persevere in suffering; 

• Provide the resources necessary to facilitate movement, including locations for discovery groups to gather, and Bible translations in local dialects; 

• Transform the workers to be spirit-led disciples of Jesus who model kingdom living; 

• Help the workers’ children and families thrive socially, spiritually, emotionally, and to accept and understand God’s love for them.

Will you commit to saturating these items in prayer with us? Keep praying these things until one of three things happens—God answers, God tells us to pray something else, or God sends the Christ back to call His own!
