"And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.
After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness."
Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, please help all of us in Istanbul to respond with boldness to threats like Peter and John did, fulfilling our part in the plans you spoke through the prophets by your Holy Spirit long ago. We pray this in the name of Christ who went before us in all things. We pray your disciples speak boldly the Word of the Lord, as we recognize God's sovereignty. Bring your glory to Istanbul.

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.

For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance."
