Last week was about focusing on the one(s) this Disciple-Maker journey is for, this week is about noticing the community that this Disciple-Maker journey is with. We’re not changing direction. Think of it as adding speed to that same direction.
Jesus handed you a salvation and left you with a mission, then he also emphatically prayed you’d be one with a community. We are taking the next week to form a vision of just how important unity was to Jesus and Paul in bringing the gospel to all, as well as catch the vision of how your Disciple-Maker journey opens yourself to others in community.
Today, just hang on to the prayer of Jesus as your own. Pray out your own longing for togetherness and camaraderie to be formed with others around Jesus. Pray for your church. Lay out your hopes and hurts of what you've wanted Christian community to be, but in many cases has not yet been. Allow this to go deep into honest disappointments and reservations as they may be.

About this Plan
A Disciple-Maker life takes Disciple-Maker Vision. My growth, my Jesus, my discipleship has its place center stage, but it's not the only thing on the stage. No theater runs with a cast of individuals buried in their own script, waiting for their own queues. It takes cast members that see everyone else's part, see the props and pieces to hold, see the overall plot and the scenes that build it, see the audience whom all this is for, and see the director from whom all things come. It's the same with Jesus in the great dramatic unfolding of his kingdom come and his gospel for all. You probably started with fixating on your part, which is normal and expected. The time comes when you see the rest. Every Disciple is to become a Disciple-Maker. These next forty days are for shifting your Vision to that of a Disciple-Maker. More than nuggets of wisdom, this devotional aims to set you up with an open-ended dialog with Jesus. Be ready to sit in scripture and prayer long enough for something new to be formed with him.
