72 Hour Prayer Vigil


March 10-12


March 10-12 an outside consultant will be meeting with a dozen leaders from our church. We will be seeking God's will for a 3-5 year vision and strategic plan. Why? So we can become better and more focused "fishers of men". It's not about our preferences, but the mission of reaching people far from God with the hope found in Christ.

We are bringing in outside help to work through a structured process, but this is a spiritual endeavor that together we will seek the Lord’s will in. This is where you come in. During the weekend, we would like to cover the entire weekend in prayer with one or more people praying in 30-minute increments for 72 hours.

We would ask you to specifically pray for three things during 30 minutes.

1. Ask God to reveal His presence and His vision to the leaders gathering. We don't want to go where God is not leading. Moses said to God: “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here.” Exodus 33:15‬

2. Ask the Lord for wisdom to make wise plans to courageously implement and go where He is pointing. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9‬

3. Ask the Lord to soften your heart and preferences (we all have them!) and courageously be willing to change, if needed, to be more effective together in the mission of Christ. The mission is truly greater than the sacrifice!
