It challenges me to pray more for the entire experience and opportunity. I believe that one prayer is a very biblical vision! Praise God for what he will do!

Ideas that are God-inspired and willing hearts to follow His plan, whatever the cost. Thank you so much for your faithfulness! Know that you are covered in prayer and support.

We are a small church (size wise)in a rural community. It is very easy for us to focus on just ourselves instead of those who need to grow in their relationship with God through Christ. Our church is facing some big challenges (property, finances, vision)in the upcoming year and it would be real easy for us to be consumed by these issues. My biggest concern is that we would leave out the spiritual dimension as we tackle these issues. My prayer is that we as individuals and a church will continue reaching out and making disciples. I am planning to supplement the preaching with studies for our small groups and for individuals as well. On the last weekend we will do a community service project as a church somewhere in our community. We have not worked the details yet. I am planning to speak on “Make Us Disciple Makers”.

For a while now, in conversation with some of the other pastors in the city, I have been asking and praying that God would begin to show us what the "being one He prays fro looks like on a day to day basis. May be we are beginning to catch a glimpse, thankyou for making this possible. Our message is "Make us different" and we shall be designating the first week as a week of prayer and fasting.

I pray God blesses your church through this unifying experience! Travis, Way to go! I know Shawnee will feel your efforts! We should be able to announce the offering destination(s) any day now.

We are partnering with something in our community called "Shawnee Rescue Mission" for our community effort. I've already started talking to our church about the world offering. I can't wait to hear where it's going, and to see how much we (640 churches) raise. My prayer is "Make us Relentless" (recorded it last week). Thanks for this opportunity!
