Here are a few things for which you can currently be praying:
- Church Relocation - After a brief hang-up last week, renovation work is moving full-speed ahead. We're hoping that we can finish the majority of the work on the two biggest rooms (the "Studio" and the "Lounge") by the end of this week. Still, we need prayer for good cooperation with the contractors, a limited number of misunderstandings, and an efficient conclusion to the renovation process.
- Home Group Outreach Strategy - Our home group has recently felt burdened to more intentionally reach out to our neighbors and proactively share the Good News about Jesus with others. Between now and the first of February, we're praying that God will give us a specific strategy for reaching out together as a home group (in addition to individual opportunities for daily "outreach" that God might give us).
- Spiritual Influence - For our Sunday worship gatherings, we're going through a series about Spiritual Influence. The premise of these teachings is that one of the greatest needs in the world today is for people who can lead and influence the world for the Kingdom of God. As we talk through different ways of influencing the world (through prayer, through the wisdom of the Bible, through evangelism, through strategic spiritual friendships), we're hoping that God will help to mobilize Amsterdammers to respond to the call for more workers to be sent into the harvest fields (see Matthew 9:38).
