“For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.”
(1 Thessalonians 4:16)
Father, we pray for Team Expansion workers as they attend Connect Gathering, a week-long event where our global workforce converges in one location. Father, we ask You for clarity and vision, wisdom and discernment. We pray that everyone will gain clear insights and a renewed vision for their work and mission, inspired to take bold steps forward.

Andrea and Heather Gentile (Italy) ask that you would pray for these requests:
-The Ciampino church has been on the road to reviewing her vision. The elders and some key members of this small community of believers asked Andrea to collaborate with them in creating a new vision. Hence, the church desires to be a model of community that reflects Jesus’s character, courage, and intentions — a community that preaches first and foremost the hope of salvation and the presence of Christ in the believer’s life.
-Caranita is a trained counselor and, with her daughter, runs a counseling and training center in southern Italy. In a meeting with her, she shared how God led her to develop her ministry and the spiritual fruits she has reaped in her counseling service. She challenged the young adults to a life-long learning/discipleship style and to grow in some key areas to reach their goals for Christ more effectively. Pray this would be so among the youth.
-There is still a great need for a spiritual awakening and a renewal of the Great Commission in the Italian Christians, but there is also a movement in that direction. Give praise and pray!
