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? (Scripture verses and questions from the Master Builders Bible for Men) 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
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. On behalf of the leadership of Lutheran Men in Mission- thank you so much for your prayer support!
