We have the joy of partnering with like-minded churches around the world. The following is a brief overview of things to pray for as Sovereign Grace Churches are planted and established in many different countries. The following is the latest prayer update for the month of November:
“As a Sovereign Grace Pastor one of the highlights of any year, is the annual Sovereign Grace Pastors & Wives Conference. Gathering together in Orlando, November 1st-3rd, this time serves as a “family reunion” for so many, and after the pandemic prevented so many of our global pastors from attending these past two years, this year is particularly special!
Current registration for the conference is over 700, with folk travelling in from places such as Germany, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Liberia, Zambia, Nimibia, Philippines & Australia, to name but a few.
For this month therefore, I’d love to enlist your prayers for this special and strategic time for our family of churches. Here are some ways you can pray for everyone involved:
Please pray that God would use the preaching to equip our pastors to live our lives, and pastor our churches, in a way that we make much of Christ as we faithfully serve His people.
Please pray for our main session speakers: Jeff Purswell, Jon Payne, C.J. Mahaney, Jared Mellinger, and Dave Taylor, as well as all of our breakout session speakers and worship leaders. That the Lord would bless and give grace to all that we do.
Please pray for the work of the Holy Spirit as we spend time together, both in our gatherings and outside of them.
Please pray that God would give us opportunities to care for one another and strengthen our relationships, both the old and new alike.
Please pray that God would use our time to strengthen and unite us in the gospel mission we share, all for the Audience of One.
What a wonderful time of year this is. May the Lord meet us and do what only He can do!”
This year, we have been privileged to send Walt and Kim Alexander, Taylor and Elisabeth Hollingsworth, Buddy and Judy Luster, Gil and Melanie Balch, Daniel and Anna McGraw, and Kirby Key to attend Pastors’ Conference. We ask that you would pray specifically for them as they attend, and that you would pray that God would use this time to create greater unity and clarity of vision for the gospel to be proclaimed and celebrated in Athens and beyond.
Thank you for praying with us. May His grace abound! To subscribe to the monthly Sovereign Grace Missions Newsletter, follow the link below.
