A Church Leader’s Vision

For despite, our church meetings
Jesus’ vision, is not progressing
Not faithful pew-sitters
But disciple-makers, spreading.

Most depend on their pastor
For their ‘weekly bread’
The band, and kid’s programs
And they’re feeling fed.

Far too often, we gather
More head knowledge, attained
But little ‘how-to’, or mentoring
So our lives, are not changed.

Yet, how many pastors
Or leaders go out
Daily witness, make disciples
Spread the gospel about?

Jesus’ Word, is like seed
In four soils, can be found
Some wayside, some stony
Amidst thorns, or good ground.

We are desperate for blessings
Need anointing, outpouring
With multitudes dead in sin
LORD revive, start restoring!

Our cultures evolving like atheism of old with no place for God, just old lies, retold.

And our lives, like the vessel
May so easily seem lost
Know Jesus, can save us
With His life, paid the cost.

We pray, a great harvest
Throughout Libya, it’s people
Muslims embracing Christ
Turned from darkness and evil.

Make streams in the desert
Turn the hearts of these people
To seek for you LORD
Turn to Jesus, from evil.
