Prayer: A week in mission
Posted by tom | Oct 15, 2007Yesterday, our local assembly celebrated Mission Sunday. The focus during the Sunday School time was upon Brethren-in-Christ World Mission's (BIC-WM) efforts in London, which by Muslims is considered the Gateway to the West, through a mission team raised up around Jay Smith's efforts. Pray for resourcing and staffing concerns in the areas of training/equipping, research/apologetics, and evangelism/church planting.
On the home front: Pray for Tom's office work (the organization which he's for the most part put off for over a year) and his travels:
1. Wednesday visit to Penn State-Harrisburg for a faculty discussion group and an appointment with a faculty member2. Thursday and Friday visits to F&M to hear Ed Larson and interact with members of the campus community
3. Saturday presentation at a missions weekend at a local congregation in Carlisle. The focus will be a call to youth in the direction of mission).
Pray for discernment in his preparation and clear communication in these opportunities to share the enacted and articulated Word of God.
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" -- Romans 10:14-15
