Day 15, September 8: It’s time to GO

Scripture: Matthew 28:19, Acts 1:8

Notes:

For Day 15, go into your neighborhood and pray for ten different families (you can walk or drive neighborhoods,)
1) Pray for those in each home to be aware of God’s presence in their lives.
2) Pray for those in each home to become followers of Christ.
3) Pray for those in each home to get involved in a church.
This is the first of four challenges that will get you out into your community. We have heard remarkable and inspiring testimonies from church members who have made the commitment to go and pray. Here’s a vital piece that I want to emphasize: Pray before you go. We call our resource Pray & Go because we encourage those walking into their communities to pray for their efforts before they leave. Pray first, then go. Pray for open hearts in the home. Pray for safety. Pray for your own witness. Pray for God go give you the right words if you do engage someone in a conversation. Prayer walking is such a simple exercise, but don’t let the simplicity lead you to believe that God can’t use your efforts in profound ways. We have been helping Christians and churches get out into their communities for years, and we never cease to be amazed at the way God honors these efforts.
