Mission Focus - Escape & Pray Devotionals - Day 7

Read Luke 10: 3-8

'Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road...' Luke 10: 3-8.

Time to get practical. 

  1. Travel light, a small bag and €20 will be enough - this helps you stay focused on God as provider. 
  2. Stay focused; don’t get distracted, worry, waste time or do anything stupid.
  3. Be friendly, greet people, tell them what you're doing and be open to receive an offer of hospitality.* 
  4. Pray for peace (safety, reconciliation, healing) to come upon the "house"-  the people you meet, the campus and any places you go.  
  5. Share your faith and offer to pray for people where appropriate.  You could ask “'If God could do a miracle in your life, what would it be?
  6. Look to connect with a local church, share what you're doing - you've come to pray and connect (remember to share Student Linkup).
  7. Consider remaining in touch with people you meet and whether God is building a longer term relationship with your group/church/Fusion. 

Prayer:

Lord, thank you that you're preparing people of peace to meet on #EscapeAndPray. Help us see who these people are, connect with them and love them well.

Action:

Go out one day/evening with one or two others to practice finding "people of peace" - people open to you and your message.

*Be sensible, be safe, you're adults!
