Hello,
Thank you for journeying with us throughout #IDW2022. Our theme of #capacitytobless was rooted in Paul’s encouragement to the Colossians in 1: 3-6, where he saw the faith and love demonstrated by this group to their community and those around them. Part of this encouragement included a reminder in verse 6 that “….In the same way, the gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.”
World Partners shared stories of how global partners continue to address their community development needs as disciple-makers. In some cases, EMCC played a particular role in growing these partners' capacity to bless those around them, which has further increased their own capacity. It was a privilege to pray with a number of them yesterday afternoon.
As these global partners have deepened their faith and been activated as a result, what this might mean for our own journey? Do we see ourselves as part of a larger global disciple-making movement? How are we investing ourselves in community for holistic transformation? As we demonstrate His heart and love for all people wherever we go, may we be conscious of our capacity to bless others that can have a multiplicative effect.
In that spirit, what might be your next right step? World Partners would be privileged to journey with as you consider how God might be nudging you and those around you.
