Equipping…with Every Good Thing…
Hebrews 13:20-21
Day 1
Equipping with the Global Church
Even as God equips the church with every good thing, the church is called to equip each other to do God’s work and will in the world. Join field personnel working in the context of the Global Church in prayer this week with a litany, a scripture passage, and digital and print resources.
Day 2
Equipping those experiencing poverty
As we are equipped with every good thing, God calls the church to address the needs of the poor, the marginalized and the neglected. The Offering for Global Missions allows field personnel to come alongside those experiencing poverty, equipping them with resources to thrive rather than simply survive.
Day 3
Equipping those experiencing displacement
The God of peace equips and develops in us what pleases God. Those experiencing displacement and migration may not have felt the presence of the God of peace. Field personnel are able to equip those traveling the refugee highway with resources for the journey to safety and security because of the Offering for Global Missions.
Day 4
Equipping and cultivating beloved community
Equipping with every good thing includes experiencing beloved community. Everyone is equipped by the God of peace as they cultivate relationships. Field personnel experience and cultivate community as they are present in their places of service because of the Offering for Global Missions.
Day 5
Equipping and bearing witness to Jesus Christ
God equips with what pleases God through the incomparable work of Jesus Christ. Field personnel are present to bear witness to Jesus Christ. They are able to equip others in their relationship with the Great Shepherd because of the Offering for Global Missions.
