Assessment: SUSTAINED MOVEMENT

The point of the following questions is simply to help assess your level of engagement in strategic prayer in your stage of movement work, and to help create awareness of how else you might invest in the critical work of prayer and intercession. Our hope is that this tool will provoke more questions, encourage you to dig into the resources to follow, and to reach out to others for more input and coaching.

• What are the strengths we are seeing in the movement? How can we pray into those strengths more effectively and more regularly? How can we pray for and help people with these strengths help those who need to be strengthened in those areas? How can we turn these things into more prayer fodder for our prayer networks?

• What are the weaknesses we are seeing in different disciples, churches, leaders and streams? How can we pray into and biblically address them? To what degree are we aware of what the Lord might be communicating about these gaps? To what degree are we aware of how God might have us make adjustments to avoid and/or overcome these weaknesses in the future?

• To what degree is there a growing awareness and desire within the movement to bring the gospel outside the natural relational, cultural and linguistic spheres into new peoples and places that are from different backgrounds? To what degree are we praying about how to cultivate that desire within leaders and house churches?

• To what degree are we praying against jealousy and rivalry among leaders within the movement? What might God want to speak to us about these things?

• To what degree are we praying into the 5 fold gifting of Ephesians 4 within the movement, that it would be expressed and synergized throughout the movement?

• To what degree are we sowing in praying into all the gifts of the body being expressed, honored and synergized throughout the movement? What might the Lord want to highlight about this area?
