Prayer Request for Monday 8^th March—Sunday 15^th March          

As Jesus was returning to the Father after completing the task of purchasing our redemption, He commanded us to make disciples. ¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  (Matthew 28:19-20 NIV)  If we expect to receive the blessing of our Savior, we must be obedient to this command and make disciples. 

Our major focus is to lead our pastors and church leaders in discipling new believers to become committed follower of Christ.  Recently during a Sunday morning worship service, praise and worship time, two person accepted Christ as Lord and Savior.  After these new believers were introduced to the congregation, the pastor asked who would be willing to disciple these new believers.  Two persons volunteered and they introduced themselves stating they would disciple them in their spiritual growth. 

This was very rewarding to see the pastor take initiative in assuring the new believers will be disciple and the congregation willingness and able to begin the process of discipling these n new believers.   This is an indication that the leaders are getting the message of their need to guarantee new believers will be properly disciple.

Pray for us as we teach mentor and model biblical discipleship to these pastors and church leaders and they teach, mentor and model discipleship to others who will do the same.
