As followers of Jesus we are extending his amazing invitation to know him and to partner together with him in Kingdom life. It’s an invitation to:
- Relational intimacy with Jesus
- Empowerment by the Holy Spirit
- Belong to a family
- Make disciples
- Suffer and sacrifice
- Use our gifts
- Experience and spread joy
What might happen if all of us – on the field and in our churches – would say “yes” to this invitation? Pray that:
-
We will experience deep relationship with Jesus
-
It will be natural and normal to be daily empowered and led by the Holy Spirit
-
All generations will experience belonging as members of God’s family
-
Each person will be equipped to use their gifts
-
Christians will think of themselves as ambassadors of a heavenly kingdom
-
Every church will see itself as an outpost from heaven
-
A spirit of action will compel us
-
We will grow through suffering and sacrifice
-
We will be committed to truth and obedience
-
Many new children will join the family
-
Jesus will be revered as Lord of the kingdom
