Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Philippians 4:6 NIV
Church-Wide Focus | Dr. Doug Witherup | Senior Pastor
This month we will be beginning a new series called Living for More. We will be addressing what it looks like for each of us to live out our faith in this world as disciples of Jesus. Jesus has given each of us gifts and we are designed to use those gifts for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Pray that new believers and seasoned believers alike would utilize the gifts Jesus has given them for His glory. Pray for the people of Multiply Church to rise up and step into different areas of culture with the Gospel message. Pray for people to understand that their purpose in life is to engage in the work of God’s Kingdom. Together we will learn how to Live for More!

Featured Missionary:
Adam and Christi Trimbur are missionaries in the Middle East. The Trimburs’ are apart of the ministry ‘Live Dead’, which focuses on how Jesus lived His life to die for us and now we live to serve others in His Name. They serve UPGs (unreached people groups) and tell them about the love and life that Christ can offer. The Trimburs’ specialize in building up local teams throughout several different countries in the Arab World to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Their teams have created church plants all over the Middle East, and as you can believe, this takes a lot of work. They have coaches and apprentices who are the ground workers of this Live Dead Ministry. Would you partner with us in prayer for the Trimburs’ and their ministry in the Arab World as they reach UPGs and the Muslim people?
