Season of Seeking FINAL WEEK begins SUNDAY

This week I want to encourage you to press on to the end of this wonderful 21-Day Season of Seeking. Many of you are already experiencing divine visitations from heaven. After two weeks of prayer and fasting I know God's grace is rising among you. Now this final week we can cap this prayer season off with glorious victory and faith in what our God is going to do for us.

Paul said to the Corinthians, "But Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ"(1 Corinthians 15:57)! And in the next breath he says, "Therefore my beloved brothers be steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, foras much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 15:58).

Let's pray through this week in faith, perseverance, and victory!
Our final Core Value focus for prayer is Leadership Development.
Many know that this ministry has multiplied to become four times greater in the last 20 years. With growth like that, the mandate for developing leadership is very clear.

Pray with me that God will raise up leaders among us in every nation.
Pray the prayer objective Jesus taught us, "Pray therefore the Lord of the Harvest that he would send forth laborers into his harvest" (Matthew 9:38).

Pray for renewal of the call to disciple, mentor, and raise up leaders in this body. Mmay every pastor feel God's call to work with and develop a Timothy beside him.

Let's bless every ministry that is working now to strengthen leadership around us. Mention specifically the Center for Biblical Leadership , the Tomlinson Center, School of Practical and Advanced Studies, Youth Ministry raising up youth leaders, Children's Ministry raising up childrens ministers and so many more...

As we look around the world to pray for our brothers and sisters, this week we will pray for the regions of Central America, South America and Europe.
Call out these three General Presbyters by name, Ben Feliz (Central America), Gabriel Vidal (South America), and Clayton Endecott (Europe, CIS, and the Middle East).

Pray for the national leaders and national ministries in these regions, as well as local church pastors.

Pray for supply of needed resources in funds, leaders, buildings, vision and more.

Pray for all of the nations included here to see where God is at work and to run to join him in the open door of outreach in their lands.

As this week comes to a close I hope that you will have a time to rejoice in faith for what God is going to do in answer to your prayers. Perhaps it will be like Jesus standing before the tomb of Lazarus saying, "Father I thank you for what you are going to do." Or it might be more emotional as Joshua commanded the people on the seventh day to "shout for the Lord has given us the city" (Joshua 6:16).

In some way I encourage you to express your faith and expectation that God has heard your cries and His answers are on the way right now.

Thank you for joining so many of your family around the world in this 21-Day Season of Seeking.

General Overseer
