"Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty."
Wise Father, you say that the plans of hard-working people will earn a profit, but those who act too quickly will become poor. We pray for the hard-working, focused disciple makers in Istanbul to see the fruit of their labor in gracious abundance. Remind them to take it slow as they mentor and coach seekers and new believers, alike. Give them your eyes to see who they should invest their time in, who they should pour more into, in order to see many Turks come to know you, God. Give wisdom to your sent out ones as they prayerfully plan out what new neighborhoods, people groups, and regions to bring the gospel to next. Lord, there are no shortcuts to success; teach your disciples here in Istanbul to seek you first and love others as themselves. Help them to walk humbly with you, Lord.

Disciplemaking Principle: Understand the Urgency of the Task Jesus tells his disciples that we will not know the hour in which he will return, but that we should always be ready. Disciple Making Movements focus on the urgency of the task at hand - all peoples, nations, tribes and languages hearing the good news of Christ.
ReadPsalm 66:4-7 "Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs. Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people! He made a dry path through the Red Sea, and his people went across on foot. There we rejoiced in him. For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance."
