WHO'S YOUR ONE?
In an effort to be more faithful in obeying God's command to be witnesses for Jesus to those who are lost, our church family has been engaged in this special emphasis for the last 6 years. You are encouraged to be involved in this effort by selecting one person for whom you will pray daily that they come to know Christ personally. This person also will be the focus of your ministry and witness efforts in encouraging them to trust Christ as Savior. Who is the person God would have you to focus upon? You can certainly focus on 2 or 3 or more if you prefer.
"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers,intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority,that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godlinessand holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth." – 1 Timothy 2:1-4 (NIV)
"For you are to be His witness, telling everyone what you have seen and heard." -- Acts 22:15 (NLT)
“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf: ‘Be reconciled to God.’” -- 2 Corinthians 5:20 (CSB)
Pray that . . .
You will be disciplined and faithful in praying for your "one" each day.
God will guide you in ways to serve your "one", investing in them, and, most importantly, in sharing the gospel with them, encouraging them to believe.
God will bring other witnesses into the life of your “one”, and that He will use any and all means to convince them of their need for a Savior, and that they will
respond to the gospel and give their lives over to Jesus.
