Praying for our church:
We are seeking God’s wisdom for dealing with five specific challenges our church is facing.
Today please pray for God’s wisdom in dealing with the following challenge:

• How can we develop more leaders and what is the role of our pastors in this process?

Pray that our church makes evangelism a true priority, not just with our words, but with our budget, calendar, and activities. Pray that God creates in us a heart that truly loves lost people.
