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 19 — DISCIPLES WHO MAKE DISCIPLES

Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:2 — “Entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”

Today’s Devotional: Paul understood that for the mission to succeed, he had to invest in Timothy, who would invest in "reliable people," who would invest in "others." This is spiritual multiplication. We aren't just called to be disciples; we are called to multiply them. A church that multiplies disciples will always multiply leaders. Multiplication happens when we invest in people, train leaders, and empower others. Today, ask God to help you invest in someone who will invest in others.

Response & Prayer Guide:

  • For Your Heart: Ask God: "Who is my Timothy?" Ask for the courage to invite them into a discipleship relationship.
  • For Our District: Pray for our "Discipleship Pathways"—that we would be effective at moving people from "unbeliever" to "reproducing disciple."

Church Prayer List:

  • Rockford Samuelson Road – Pastor Brandon Bowmar
  • Roseville – Pastor Mark Johnson

The Challenge & Next Steps:

  1. Identify: Who is your "Timothy"? Reach out to a newer believer today and offer a word of encouragement or mentorship.
  2. Scripture: Read 2 Timothy 1 and 2. Look for the "Relay Race" imagery of passing the torch of faith.
  3. Worship: Listen to "The Cause of Christ" by Kari Jobe.
  4. Pray Boldly for every lay leader in your Church to catch a vision for making disciples. Pray for God to empower their hands for the work of discipleship.

 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, teach us the power of spiritual multiplication, and help us to be conduits of grace rather than cul-de-sacs of information. Show us the "Timothys" in our lives—those newer believers who need our investment, our training, and our encouragement. May our district be a place where disciples make disciples until the light of Christ reaches every home and every heart.
