Day 31- Pray for Small Groups

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints."
Eph. 6:18

On Day 1 I wrote "Great movements in the history of Christianity had two common factors: the word of God and prayer." The Word of God is God's way of reaching down to man. Prayer is man reaching up to God.

This week our church begins our vital small groups ministry- the "Love others" portion of our discipleship process. As we prayed through our process for discipleship I had no idea what to expect in our first attempt at small groups. All praise to the Lord- we have 120 adults signed up for small groups (that doesn't include our youth and young adults small groups! With those groups our number of people will likely exceed 150!) That means 120-150 men and women will be getting together around the word of God and praying together EVERY WEEK! Wow.

I can't wait to see what God does in our church through these small groups. I am praying fervently that God will start a movement with Berean as we fall deeper in love with God and one another! Below you'll find the Berean Small Group schedule for the fall. For the next week I want you to pray for each of these small groups. It would be great if you can pray for each of the small groups at the time each small group is taking place. I'm looking forward to sweet fellowship around the word and prayer. Will you love others by faithfully praying for one another?
