THE RACE - ISSUE 16
Who will lead them?
One of the greatest needs in Algeria is the training
of church leaders. And in principle, it is one of the easiest needs to meet-
simply, teach them.
However, it's not that easy.
There are
several reasons why. Difficulty in access. Lack of Christian materials.
Small numbers of believers. Training procedure. Yet for churches to be
planted and to grow in Algeria, leaders need to take the lead! Algerian
leaders. Godly, bold, mature Algerian leaders.
The Bible is full of
examples of men and women who led others: Nehemiah, Moses, Paul, and of
course, Christ Jesus, the greatest example of servant-leadership. Also,
Scripture lists qualities of spiritual leaders.. Hebrews 13:17 identifies
leaders in the local church that care for the spiritual welfare of the
people.
We must undergird the work to train Algerian church leaders in
fervent prayer. Pray to the Lord of the Harvest for Algerian harvesters for
the fields.
Psalms 31:3 says, "For thou art my rock and my fortress;
therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me." Indeed, the Holy
Spirit is the True Equiper and Guide for the churches in
Algeria.
Please, pray for the efforts to train Algerian church leaders to
be lead and protected by the Lord. And pray for the leaders themselves-
that they may be bold, wise, and anointed.
So all may know the
Truth.
