As we mentioned on Sunday, Renew is partnering with other churches around the City and around Australia in a national effort to introduce more people to Jesus called, helpfully, Meet Jesus.
We'll have more to say about what we're planning for that push in the next few weeks, but there's something you could be getting on with right now.
We are asking everyone in Renew to choose two friends and to pray for those two people for two minutes every day that they would come to know the Lord.
For some of us, that will sound like an easy ask, for others of us we're going to need some help with a project like that.
When to pray
How are you going to remember to pray like this? You know what will work best. For some it'll mean putting a repeating reminder in your phone to stop what you're doing and pray for those two minutes. For others, you might use habit-stacking (two minutes is, conveniently, the same amount of time you're meant to brush your teeth). Choose a strategy now and do what you need to do to remind yourself to start the habit.
What to pray
We've created a resource to give you different things to pray. It's a calendar of 31 topics you might like to pray through. It's not rigid, and there's plenty of other things you could pray for - but these are here to get you started if you're stuck. Click on the image below to download a printable PDF you can use.
You'll be joining with thousands of other Christians who are all praying the same thing for their two friends. I'm praying that tens of thousands of people would come to know the Lord across Australia this year and that the Lord would be pleased to use Renew to introduce our friends to Jesus in 2024.
grace and peace,
Steve
