How God Advances His Mission

Short answer: through prayer. I had the privilege of attending Global Church Advancement, a super-charged church planting conference last summer, and one of the workshops offered was on Kingdom prayer. As they traced prayer through Acts here is what they discovered. Through prayer:

Leaders find purpose and power to lead. (Acts 1:6,7, 12-14)

Churches are started and communities formed. (Acts 2:1,41-42)

Churches handle persecution. (Acts 4:24-31, 12:1-5)

Leaders help churches face crises and solve problems. (Acts 6:1-4)

Churches are mobilized for ministry and mission. (Acts 6:5-7)

Harvest occurs and momentum is created. (Acts 13:1-3, 47-49)


Ah, the power of prayer.
