MCUSA Pray First! Prayer Focus & World Partners

MAY PRAYER FOCUS

— MAKING DISCIPLES

PERSONAL REFLECTION — MAKE DISCIPLES: “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen” (Matthew 28:18-20).

Praise God that we serve under His authority — not our own.
Praise Him that He is bringing the nations to us and pray we will be used to reach the world.
Praise — He has given us the curriculum — all things He commanded of the disciples.
Praise — He has given us the promise of His presence. Praise Him for our privilege of being a part of what He is doing to advance the kingdom.
