God is moving around the world! And that includes our neighborhoods and cities! This activation simply gets all of us going into our local area together to pray about, listen to, and observe what God is saying, doing, and leading us into.
Time: 60 min.
Step by step:
- Cast a clear vision of Judea mission. Ideas for vision related questions and thoughts: What is God doing in this neighborhood? What is different about our neighborhood because we are here representing the Kingdom of Heaven? How would our community be impacted if we werenβt here anymore? What would it look like to create Kingdom infrastructure throughout this neighborhood where every person, family, business, institution, and sphere of culture was blessed by our contribution towards building a healthier community?
- Divide into small groups to go to different locations around your local area.
- Prayerfully observe. While observing the section your group is in, start by asking God these two questions. 1. God, what are You already doing in this place? 2. God, how do You see the people we are seeing? Encourage the sharing of any thoughts, impressions, and ideas while going around an area and praying these prayers.
- Get together for a meal or coffee afterwards to discuss what you thought, saw, and felt. We find this time to be one of the most important moments in learning about the Lordβs heart for our neighbors and neighborhood. Please do not miss this step.
- Plan what next steps of obedience and mission may look like based on what was seen, felt, and discussed. Note: We may not be sure which impressions or ideas to start with, but pray, plan, and take action! Taking steps of obedient faith in collective, prayer-filled agreement is a powerful way to build Kingdom infrastructure in our Judea mission!
