Focus Topic: A Willing Heart

Focus Scripture: Colossians 3:23 / 2 Timothy 2:10

Focus Team Member: Randy Bridgewater

The apostle, Paul, writes to the young pastor, Timothy that he is willing to do anything if it will bring salvation to people. As our team prepares for their upcoming week of ministry, they will be trained to do many things that won’t be comfortable or natural to them. The question is: will they do it willingly? It’s hard being away from the norms of home. It’s harder still to serve when you are tired and hot. Instead of inconvenience and frustration, may our team experience an overwhelming sense of God's love, making them ready & willing to serve!

Lord, I pray for Randy right now. He has already demonstrated a willing heart - just in going to Panama. Yet, that willingness to serve will be tested as the week goes on. As the team serves may they remember that people will come to salvation in Christ; may they keep in mind that they are not just serving others - they are serving You; working for You. I know that you are able to help him and our team. And, as they willingly give of themselves for the sake of others, draw them closer to You. In Jesus’ Name, I pray!
