Obedience: If you say that you are a follower of Jesus, to what extent are you involved in spreading the gospel? How are you actively involved in making disciples? Jesus made it clear that we are to go and make disciples. The gospel is more than just to evangelize. We have to do both: evangelize and share the message and love of Jesus "with our hands."

Reminder: Pray for opportunities to share your testimony and the gospel with people wherever possible. Pray for at least one gospel conversation this week.
