Take your candle, and go light your world

Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn
Hold out your candle for all to see it
Take your candle, and go light your world

“And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14

The church has had nearly 2000 years to share "this gospel of the kingdom" yet there are still nearly 9,000 unreached people groups (Joshua Project).

How are you directly involved in fulfilling the Great Commission…especially among the unreached?

I believe it all begins with PRAYER!!! 

Father God, we come to you in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ asking that you give the church a renewed and urgent passion to fulfill the Great Commission. May your Kingdom come to the unreached...to every nation, tribe and tongue. Show us how to empty ourselves so the Holy Spirit might well up in us a spring of LOVE that will overflow and spread to the ends of the earth. Make us weak, foolish, poor, lowly and unknown for your Kingdom here on earth. Send us, Oh God…send the church to the darkest places so it might shine with the brightest LIGHT as the fullness of Christ transforms our lowly sinful bodies.

Jesus said ask anything...anything in his name and for the glory of God the Father…so we ask for FAITH, HOPE and LOVE…for wisdom, knowledge, understanding, truth, grace, holiness, and humility. We ask for freedom from the sin that so easily entangles and that we might walk continually in Your presence…for we know that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is FREEDOM. Father God fill us with the fruit of the Spirit…love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Give us eyes to see and ears to hear.  Unite the church and make us one just as your Son is one with you. Fill us with zeal for your house…zeal for spreading Your kingdom. Come Lord Jesus...the Spirit and the Bride say, Come!

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:6
