The Crazy Reason We Avoid Praying for Our Own Country

  Raising support, whether spiritual or financial, for mission work in the United States is exponentially harder than raising support for work overseas. Most people I have talked with attribute this to a perceived lack of need for mission work here. "After all," people say, "America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles with a church in every town. If someone in America wants to know about Jesus they can just go to church."

Is Praying for Disciple Making Movements Important Enough to Make it on Our Daily Schedule?

  Disciple Making Movements happen as God's people align themselves with His will and disciple people into a relationship with Him in ways that allow them to do the same with their friends, neighbors, and family. We align ourselves with God by reading His Word and through prayer. Every single modern Disciple Making Movement was preceded and accompanied by massive amounts of people praying for long periods of time. What makes us think Movement in the United States and Canada will require any less? #disciplemakingmovements #contagiousdisciplemaking #church #churchplanting #pray #prayer #gospelmovement
