PRAYER AND FASTING

ABOUT THE SCHOOL OF CHURCH MINISTRY     

Every local church should pray and work to cultivate new ministers. Luke 10:2 says, "...Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." In 2 Timothy 2:2 we read "And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also."

Since the beginning of the year, a new training program has started in our church, "School of Church Ministry," with over forty men participating. Cultivating ministers is complex and impossible without God's action. Only the Lord can transform hearts, endow gifts, and give the desire to dedicate life to ministry.
Throughout the next week, pray for God's:

  • work in the hearts of the brothers who have begun training: that they may grow in love for God and people, deepen their knowledge of Scripture, that the Holy Spirit may transform their character, and that they may acquire the necessary skills for fruitful service;

  • wisdom for Andrii Rezunenko, responsible for this program, as well as for all the elders who assist in working with the brothers: that they may successfully carry out the teaching process;

  • strength: that the Lord would strengthen the brothers to complete the entire course of training, fulfilling all necessary assignments, so that earthly cares and worldly concerns do not become obstacles;

  • blessing for the trip to the East Coast to study the Christian roots of America (May 6-10): that the lessons of history would instruct and encourage them in their trust in God, who has done and continues to do great things.
