21 Days of Prayer (Day 12)

8/31/2017

Day 12: Pray for more pastors/elders to be raised up in the church.

We desire to be a church that is led by a plurality of elders. We are eager to install more elders that are called by God, biblically qualified, and confirmed by the church. However, we do want to be careful, cautious, and discerning before installing someone into the office of eldership.

Let's pray for God to call, qualify, and confirm more elders who have a heart to love and serve His church
