Finding Persons of Peace Part 1

 

This is Multiply, a podcast to encourage village church planters, pastors, and Christian leaders. And I am your host today, Daneille Snowden. 

“Oh Lord, lead me where You want me to go. Soften the hearts and open the minds of those of whom You have chosen to be Your ‘persons of peace.’”

The first and most important STEP as we walk into our villages is prayer. In that time of prayer first, we take time for a moment of worship, secondly, a time of  stillness, and then ask God to even lead our prayer to Him. Amen? This is a time that should not be rushed, but truly a time where you and God are in deep communion with one another. This is where visions can be birthed, power infused and love for others grow. 

May I also encourage all of us, as we go to places still not reached by the Gospel that we also include a trusted team of prayer warriors to agree in prayer with you. There is great power in agreement, as you are knitted with like-minded believers for this task. 

As we pray, we ask God to work on the hearts of those we are going to meet, as I stated earlier. In addition, we ask Him to give us eyes to see who we should talk to. Plus, the words to start the conversation and for the leading of the Holy Spirit on each step after. God works mightily, and also creatively, thus, He may lead you differently in each village. When we pray this way, we shall see the fruit as we go forward entering our villages (especially during our prayer walks). 

Note, we are looking for someone who will be receptive to the Gospel and you, who is known in the community and then has a willingness to connect others with this message. This is a vital objective that should be included in our prayer before we leave.
