As one year ends and another begins, our hearts are full of joy and expectation, grateful for the wondrous works the Lord has done and hopeful for what he might do in the future. Alasdair Groves recently described CCEF’s strategic vision—the four building blocks at the ministry’s core—in a series of short videos that you can watch here. It is our prayer that the Lord would lead us to faithfully fulfill our mission for years to come. Would you join us in praying to that end?
- Connected to Christ: Pray that we would each be rooted in our union with Christ and that our worship of him would permeate our relationships, the burdens we bear, the mundane tasks of the day to day, and all that the Lord has put before us in 2022.
- Tilling Up New Soil: Pray for our Conference team as they prepare now for the 2022 National Conference. Pray that the teaching would be rich and fruitful. Pray for our School of Biblical Counseling team and faculty as they are working on new courses and re-filming old courses. Much effort goes into this—constructing a new studio, preparing and teaching new lectures, evaluating syllabi and assignments, and more.
- Equipping People: Pray that the changes to the School of Biblical Counseling would lead to a more effective equipping of pastors, counselors, and lay leaders. Pray for our faculty and staff as they prepare a new practicum for the Master of Arts in Counseling that will incorporate new hands-on feedback from faculty.
- Critical Contribution: Pray that all we do would indeed build up the church of Christ. Pray for wisdom in making our classes, resources, and conferences as accessible as possible to local churches.
