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 21 — A DISTRICT UNITED

Scripture: Ephesians 4:3 — “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”

Today’s Devotional: Unity is not a luxury; it is missional. The mission of Jesus advances through a united church. A divided district cannot disciple. But when we are united—in shared purpose, shared mission, and shared surrender—the Spirit moves freely and the Kingdom expands powerfully. Today, we stand as 50 churches, one Savior, and one call: "Follow Me." Unity does not mean sameness; it means shared surrender to Jesus. This is the beginning of a disciple-making movement.

Response & Prayer Guide:

  • For Your Heart: Make a "Covenant of Unity." Resolve to be a "Bringer of Peace" in your church.
  • For Our District: Pray a "Blessing of Unity" over our District Superintendent and all district leadership.

Church Prayer List:

  • Smithfield – Pastor Dean Potts
  • Wyoming – Pastor Shawna Marsh

The Challenge & Next Steps:

  1. Unity: Text a pastor or member from another NWIL church today to let them know you are praying for them.
  2. Celebrate: Commit to continuing this lifestyle of prayer and disciple-making long after Day 21.
  3. Worship: Listen to "The Blessing" by Kari Jobe & Cody Carnes.
  4. Pray Boldly for every Church, every Pastor, every leader, every teen at our NWIL District Convention today. I hope to see you there!

 

Prayer: Prince of Peace, we thank You for the unity of the Spirit that binds our 50 churches together in a shared mission. We resolve today to be bringers of peace and agents of harmony, refusing to let the enemy sow seeds of discord among us. Bless our District Superintendent and all our leaders with divine direction as we step forward into this new year, unified and expectant.
