"May God, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus. Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Lord we pray for unity in the body of Christ. You tell us to live in harmony with one another, which reflects on Christ and his ministry. Help the disciples in Istanbul to live in harmony with one another, forgiving one another of their wrongs against each other. Give them patience with each other since we all come from a fallen, sinful world and have so much to learn to be more like Jesus. We pray for encouragement of each disciple in the churches in Istanbul to be spurred on to love one another. May they be quick to forgive and quick to listen. Unite your church to give praise and honor to you, O 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.

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