As I return back the office for the first time in 2012, I have spent a lot of time thinking and dreaming about what God might do this year. I am more excited about Passage today than I ever have been.
I see the potential for our church in the leadership that God has brought and is continuing to bring. I see the potential in the open doors for ministry that He has provided. I see the potential that those who have come to know Christ will be great witnesses for him. I see potential in our youth and their leadership. I could go on, but do you know what excites me more than the potential? It is the power that works in that potential.
It is not potential alone but it is the power of God. The same power that raised Christ of the dead is at work within us. It is that power that makes potential more than a possibility.
Here are a few specific ways I am praying we see the power of God in 2012.
- Praying we see at least 50 people come to know and trust Christ this year.
- Praying that train 50 people for discipleship and mentoring.
- Praying that we add 10 additional small groups by January 2013.
- Praying that we take significant steps with our ministry partners in Naco, Mexico and Indore, India.
Those are just a few of the specific request. I hope you will join me in praying for these things daily and then I pray you will join me working towards these request.
Happy New Year
