Choices for Congregations: Creating Multicultural and Multigenerational Congregations

Prayer Requests

Pray for the congregations of the Eastern Virginia Presbytery as they take next steps in response to our seminar on April 13th about Enduring Congregations: Will Your Congregation Still Exist Ten Years from Now? May they address both their opportunities and their challenges.
Pray for the ministers of American Baptist churches in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey as they seek to respond to our time together around FaithSoaring Churches. May they commit to leading their congregations into a prophetic future.
Pray for the Baptist Church of Beaufort [SC] as they write their future story of ministry to be presented in a few weeks. May they be courageous in responding to what they feel to be the call of God.
Pray for Park Street Baptist Church as they continue a year-long Spiritual Strategic Journey process to seek to transform as a congregation. They have made multiple attempts in the past 30 years to do this. Are they ready to do the things necessary to respond to the call of God on their congregation?
Pray for five congregations of the Eastminster Presbytery in Ohio as they continue to live into their Spiritual Strategic Journey. The year of engagement is over. Now it is a life-time of living into their future story of ministry.
Pray for the new vision of The Columbia Partnership that seek to empower the transformation of 2100 congregations per year by the end of 2017. Pray that we may be able to connect with an increasing number of congregations who desire to reach their full Kingdom potential.
Pray for the work of the Baptist World Alliance led by Neville Callam, and its North American Baptist Fellowship that I lead, as we anticipate 2013 as a year that will significantly move forward our work among Baptists worldwide. Pray specifically for our NABF's 50th anniversary as celebrate our missional collaboration.
