Guide Along Unfamiliar Paths

Isaiah 42:16

"I will lead blind Israel down a new path,
    guiding them along an unfamiliar way.
I will brighten the darkness before them
    and smooth out the road ahead of them.
Yes, I will indeed do these things;
    I will not forsake them."

Prayer Point:

O Lord, bring those who are blind by a way that they don’t know. Lead the city of Gaziantep in paths that they don’t know. Make darkness light before them and crooked places straight. Jesus, show the Turks they unfamiliar, yet perfect way that leads to you. Give them boldness and confidence to choose to walk on this narrow way and courage to invite their family and friends along for the journey. Do not forsake the peoples of Gaziantep.

Focus City: Gaziantep

Tentmakers

May 31, 2025

Effective disciple makers in many areas of the world are NOT paid church employees, NOR are they paid sent out ones. In actuality, most movements encourage all believers to both work to earn money for their families AND go make disciples who make disciples who make more disciples.

Sow the Gospel Abundantly

May 24, 2025

Disciplemaking Principle: Sow the Gospel Generously Movements around the world report that for every 10 discovery groups that begin, 9 will not continue into becoming a church.

This ONE group can multiple itself 100 fold in a matter of months! Pray for many, many discovery groups to start in Türkiye. Pray for those "Special ONES" to multiple greatly in depth and width. Ask for a movement of God in Türkiye now!

Pray for Signs and Wonders

May 10, 2025

Disciplemaking Principle: Pray for Signs and Wonders In the book of Acts we see God moving in signs and wonders at the same time he brings salvation to many people. Signs and wonders are one way that God reveals himself to the lost. Many movements are characterized by seeing miracles happen as they enter a new place, people group, or sector of society, which opens the door to invite the lost to experience more of Jesus by joining a discovery bible study with their family and friends.
