OLLOW ME:
21 Days of Prayer for a Disciple-Making District - NWIL
Prayer Challenge – March 1 – 22, 2026
WEEK THREE: THE CALL TO JOIN THE MISSION OF JESUS

Day 16 — THE GREAT COMMISSION

Scripture: Matthew 28:19–20 — “Go and make disciples of all nations...”

Today’s Devotional: The Great Commission is the "Marching Orders" of the Church. It is not a call for the elite; it is the mandate of every believer. Jesus says, “Go and make disciples.” That means not just converts, disciples. A disciple follows Jesus, is being formed by Jesus, and joins the mission of Jesus. The Great Commission is not about filling buildings—it is about filling lives with the presence and power of Christ. We do not make disciples in our own strength; we go with His authority and His presence.

Response & Prayer Guide:

  • For Your Heart: Are you "going" or are you "waiting"? Ask God for one opportunity today to mention His goodness.
  • For Our District: Pray for our district's "Global Mission" efforts and for our churches to have a heart for "the nations."

Church Prayer List:

  • Point of Change – Pastor Zac Alvis
  • Princeton New Hope – Pastor Laura Tanner

The Challenge & Next Steps:

  1. Invest: Write down the names of three people you can intentionally invest in spiritually this year.
  2. Scripture: Read Matthew 28:16-20. Circle the word "All." All authority, all nations, all things, all days.
  3. Worship: Listen to "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Hillsong UNITED.
  4. Pray Boldly that NWIL would become a district known for “making Christlike disciples” until our communities are visibly different.

 

PRAYER: Lord of all nations, we accept Your Great Commission as our direct marching orders, and we refuse to stay "waiting" when You have told us to "go." Open our eyes to the opportunities around us today to mention Your goodness and share Your truth with those who are searching. Empower our district to be a community that fills lives with Your presence rather than just filling buildings with people.
