Things to Pray Into for the Next Stage
Ask, Listen, Write on Team White Board or Journal
What’s most on Your heart, Lord? What do You want to show us?
Lord, what should our priorities be for the next season? What must happen to see movements initiated throughout our people?
Father, how do we need to pray in this next stage of the work?
Father, is there anything we’re missing? What is limiting what You want to do?
Lord God, as we look toward multiple generations of disciples and churches, what needs to be corrected in our own hearts? What paradigm shifts do we need in order to move forward effectively?
Father, what do we need to simplify in order to help new believers and groups reproduce in new generations?
Lord, are there any places in our discipleship process where believers are checking out or taking an “off-ramp” out of the process? How can we properly maintain what You’ve entrusted to us? What are the weak places in our process?
Lord, how can help new believers and groups continue to look for and find Persons of Peace and 4th soil people in this new stage? How can we personally still maintain the discipline of looking for these kind of people?
Lord, what are some simple ways we can help new believers quickly adopt the identity of not just follower, but also fisher? How can we help new believers grow in their own outreach to their oikos?
Lord, is there any place that we or our local partners need to step out of the process in order to make more room for new disciples to lead more fully?
Father, how can we better help new disciples, groups, or house churches persevere under social pressure and persecution? How do You want them (and us!) to grow in the midst of persecution? How should we be praying as disciples begin to suffer under persecution?
