“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. ... Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

We confess • For not reaching out to former soldiers • For having been shown everlasting grace and mercy, but not always showing it ourselves.

• For leaving evangelism out of our social work • For not taking risks • For not being patient or compassionate We pray: • Bring the prodigals home, and let us welcome them with open arms • Raise up sacrificial people to fight the injustices of the world • Give us the Spirit of humility • Give us boldness for justice, let us not be afraid to go and meet people where they are.

• For creative, new ways to share Your Word We confess to you • For not sharing your word or Your love, with the world • For not being responsive to the Holy Spirit’s prompting • For turning the wine of the Gospel’s message into water • For our Bible illiteracy • For turning our backs on the unloveable We pray: • Strengthen our faith • Give us a spirit of courage and wisdom • Open our eyes to new ways to evangelise • Strengthen and inspire us • Pour out Your love on us, that we may love others • Help us to see the people, not the program • For the Fruits of Your Spirit
