A Praying Life … Cape Town

Posted on September 24, 2010 by wtdavid

I’ve been in the US for meetings the past two weeks.  Last night, the US Ministry Support Center hosted a Lausanne Prayer night, a time of prayer for the upcoming “Lausanne” conference to be held in Cape Town, South Africa.  Each one of our Area Directors shared glimpses of ministry in their part of the world in light of the themes of Cape Town 2010.  I wish you could have participated with us as those stories really did stir my heart and others’ hearts to pray. 

But you can participate. The Cape Town 2010 website provides you with many resources not only for prayer, but for study and interaction (http://conversation.lausanne.org/en).  Each delegate is encouraged to do the Ephesians Study, read the study guide of the Lausanne Covenant, and read & reflect on one paper in each of the topics to be discussed.  All of this material is online for you to participate as well.

Would you join with me in praying together for this critical event in the life of the global church?  It is another opportunity for us to encourage a life of prayer together for God’s mission and work in this world.

A Praying Life … Together

Posted on September 7, 2010 by wtdavid

I would like to invite each member of the WT community to join with me in reading over the coming months, A Praying Life, by Paul Miller (NavPress).  Prayer & worship are some of the core values of our WT community. Personally, I found many insights in Miller’s work that pushed me to pray in new and more deeply relational ways. 

By reading this book together as a community, I hope we can reflect on its contents, discuss insights we glean with one another, and pray more with each other and in concert together. 

 

I would encourage you to order a copy using the hyperlink above. However, if you’re in a place where it’s difficult to get a book in any reasonable amount of time, let me know and I will send you a scanned version of the first few chapters until you are able to get a personal copy.

If you’ve already read the book, re-reading it certainly wouldn’t hurt. However, I can recommend another work that would complement Miller’s work, and would allow you to further enhance our discussion.

There may be some who will not see this invitation in this blog post because of limited internet access or other reasons.  Would you invite them to join with us in reading and learning together?

Look for future posts about this book as well as reflection questions to guide our conversations together.
