Why Give to the Proclaim Initiative?
Reaching Everyone in the “Room”
27 “King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” 28 And Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time would you persuade me to be a Christian?” 29 And Paul said, “Whether short or long, I would to God that not only you but also all who hear me this day might become such as I am – except for these chains.” —Acts 26:27–29
A Roman official, five high-ranking Roman officers, and all the power players of the city of Caesarea crowded into one room to watch King Agrippa interrogate Paul. The two men stood in stark contrast, one in the trappings of royalty and the other bound by chains. And yet, as his life seemingly teetered on the opinion of the king, Paul recognized an opportunity – he had a captive audience. Regardless of how they found him, Paul was going to present the life-saving message of Jesus Christ to everyone in the room.
PRAY
Thank You for unexpected divine appointments. I pray specifically that You would use the North Campus media team to reach someone online this week. I pray for an online divine appointment this week, that someone might stumble upon the Gospel through the North Campus’s being online and forever be changed.
ACT
The PROCLAIM initiative will outfit the media team with new cameras for the Worship Center. Share one of North Campus Pastor Connor Bales’s sermons this week on social media and pray that God would use the post to reach someone.
