Unity, Alignment & Energy

“That doesn’t happen every day!” Every 5 years or so we bring together the International Leadership Community of The Navigators.  This September 10-16 nearly four hundred of us will gather in a hotel in Asia.  It will be a foretaste of heaven where the “glory and honor of the nations” will be brought into the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:26).  We will gather from many nations, from every continent, speaking many languages.  The purpose of this gathering is to bring fresh unity, alignment and energy to our part in the worldwide movement of the Gospel into the nations.  For many months about 50 of us have been agreeing in prayer around the three things listed below.  Please join us in praying for focus, alignment and energy as outlined below.
 
Prayer update:  Hudson & Lauren’s wedding was beautiful and inspiring.  There were many late nights savoring one another’s presence (although I missed some of them because of fatigue!). 
 
Prayer opportunity:  If you would like to receive daily prayer updates during the forum, please let me know via email immediately. 
 
Praying for the International Forum
 
Matthew 18:19
"If two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.
 
Focus:  I pray that You will lead us to focus together on the greater things that You intend to do through us in advancing the Gospel into the nations.
For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these….  Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.  (John 5:20; 14:12)
Alignment:  I pray that You will lead us into alignment and unity with You and with one another that will advance the Gospel into the nations.
I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. (John 17:23)
Energy:  I pray that You will energize us through leading us into believing You so deeply that we will see Your glory and power displayed through us among the nations.
Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" (John 11:40)
