Plant Generously, Reap Bountifully

I (Paul) planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
—1 Corinthians 3:6


A movement is gaining energy for new mission points and church starts throughout the Church of the Brethren.

Such a movement requires a strong foundation of prayer.

Will you pray with us this year?

Some resources to assist your prayer:

Detach the prayer card and use it with your daily devotional materials.

Go to brethren.org/churchplanting and register for the church planting prayer group. You will receive detailed monthly prayer requests.

Visit brethren.org/churchplanting for news on what’s happening with new church starts.

Invite your friends, family, Bible study, Sunday school class, discipleship group, and worshiping community to join in these prayers.
