Your Kingdom come

Your kingdom come, your will be done in Congo as it is in heaven.

 

This is our prayer as we prepare for our first leadership training next week in Kikwit, a city which is about 250 miles from Kinshasa.  As our friends and family awaken in the U. S. this morning, Jay and I are traveling there with part of a newly formed team to train church leaders in church planting strategies.  We are so happy to partner with two visionary Congolese pastors, Abraham and Elnathan.  On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, April 26-28, the four of us will be leading a training of about 150 church leaders to consider some Biblical strategies that will implement highly accountable discipleship and will accelerate church planting in their region.  Remember an earlier post when I talked about following and fishing?  Join us in praying for these church leaders to recommit themselves to do just that – follow and fish and teach others to follow and fish.

How can you pray?

• For team unity
• For clarity of communication in French and translation to Kikongo
• For God-inspired, efficient use of time in a packed schedule of teaching
• For God-prepared brothers and sisters who will take this training and put it into practice for the advance of His Kingdom here in DRC and beyond
• For our team to faithfully follow and fish and for those we train to faithfully follow and fish.
