Focus Topic: Effectiveness
Focus Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 / Matthew 7:6-8
Focus Team Members: Mariela Ortiz, Hannah Piefer, Sofia Santo, Amanda Shedaker
We typically measure effectiveness by results - and with good reason. How many did we produce? What did we gain? Yet, in the kingdom of God, the results of sharing the Gospel aren’t always immediately apparent. We have to persevere. We have to keep at it, trusting that God is the one who makes the seed of the Gospel grow in human hearts. As our team serves today, we want them to be effective; deployed strategically and used for maximum impact. God will order their steps so they are exactly where He wants them. We can’t control the end result but we can trust that it will, in the end, glorify Jesus.
Lord, maximize our team’s effectiveness today! Let every conversation be led by Your Spirit. May every prayer prayed result in saving faith. When bags of food are distributed, let them be given out with the love of Jesus. Put our team in the neighborhoods and schools that You desire them in. And, if they encounter roadblocks or obstacles, may they see it as part of Your plan. Be with Mariela, Hannah, Sofia & Amanda today. I pray these ladies will especially sense Your Holy Spirit using them to lead others into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. For Jesus’ sake, I pray. Amen.
