Week 4: Needing workers
One of the major hindrances to growing as a new church is the lack of workers. As the church launches new ministries to reach new people in the mission field, an adequate number of passionate workers need to be in place.
28. Pray that God would bring diversity in workers
“For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. . . He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups. Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.”
Eph 2:13-16
Heaven shows a picture of great diversity, as people from many backgrounds and races come together as one body. The church today should welcome diversity. For the church to be more diverse, diversity in leadership is needed.
• Pray that our new church will reflect diversity of our mission field.
• Pray that God would bring diversity in leadership and workers.
• Pray that we can learn from the richness of diversity.
