As we pack our cases for the next leg, we are off to the capital to share with God's faithful family who have been working hard in Podgorica. This has been a wonderful few days. Being with the men early doors yesterday for prayer, was one of my highlights. Children's clubs yesterday morning, and spending times with church leaders would also be joint top.
There are so many issues of dynamic growth to pray for here. It will be such a privilege to see how we as Uk churches and ACTION globally can serve and encourage. Growing churches are always stretched. Issues of leadership progression, training new disciples, engaging with unreached subcultures on our doorstep, multiplication and satellite ministries, cultural specific applications of the bible are all constant issues.
Praise God for the good foundations laid by faithful workers.
Pray for the next generation of leaders and especially the reaching and preparation of indigenous workers and leaders.
Pray for our role in providing helpful recourses in evangelism, social media, discipleship and leadership development.
Pray that new churches will be planted in God's timing and that Hub's will be helpful prototypes to hand on the baton within this culture. When any new gospel frontier is reached, it is easy to "plug and play" what is already known from a different culture. However this is always a beautiful time to reform under the authority of Christ and His word and explore unchanging eternal truth in this new generation and variegated society. Change is part and parcel of gospel ministry. Flexibility to fit in with the mission of God, to go where he sends and when he sends, to speak with in ways understandable and with hearts which communicate authenticity through love are at the juncture of every new frontier.
Praise God for such leaders here, and the growing expectancy of what God will do by his strength and provision in the next chapter.
May the inter-country network emerging here continue to display the unity of God's people coming together to honour the name of Jesus. There is nothing more beautiful than the orchestration of God moving as the unreached become reached. Thank you for your prayers which are rich in heritage for the next generation, strategically critical at this pivotal time and profoundly effective.
Bless you for your faithful partnership.
