That every man grow in his relationship with Jesus Christ through an effective men’s ministry in every congregation.

This is an invitation for you to join in prayer each week with men throughout the ELCA at noon on Wednesday... or when you are able. We are praying for revival/renewal for men throughout the ELCA and beyond. This includes the men in your life, for the support of ministry with men churchwide.

Mark 6:1-13: ⁶And he was amazed at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. ⁷Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits. ⁸These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. ⁹Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. ¹⁰Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. ¹¹And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them." ¹²They went out and preached that people should repent. ¹³They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.

Questions:  Who in your family over-packs for a trip? What three tasks that characterized Jesus’ ministry did disciples do? What does the disciple’s assignment tell you about the people of God? Where has God sent you to tell about the kingdom? How is it going?

Our prayer for all of us as leaders is that our spiritual vision would be so clear that we would see Jesus only (Matthew 17:8).

Men, once again the purpose of these weekly encounters is to pray for renewal, and revival in the church- beginning with men. Let us be relentless in our prayer that this ministry will be one that supports that renewal/revival among men.  

PLEASE PRAY

• For our leadership- including our staff, Board, Young Men’s Ministry Council, Development Council, and synod and congregational men’s leaders, that those of us in leadership keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Our focus is for men to have a growing relationship with Jesus. 

• For the men in your life and beyond- that they might come to a deeper relationship with Jesus.
• For our ministry through leadership development, Bible ministry, events and ministry with/to young men.
• Thank God that through faithful supporters He continues to supply the needs of LMM so that this ministry continues to grow.  Please continue to pray.

Finally- please pray that those of us in leadership keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Our focus is for men to have a growing relationship with Jesus.
