Engage and serve the World to which God sends you 1.Use the Halverson Benediction for yourself and with the congregation and with its groups: Wherever you go, God is sending you. Wherever you are God has a purpose in you being there. Christ who indwells you has something he wants to do through you where you are! Believe it and go in his grace and power. Richard C. Halverson 2.Introduce the One-One-One Prayer Covenant. Invite members of groups (PW circles, Sunday School Classes, small groups) to formally commit to pray for one person outside the church for one minute a day for one month. Pray the person comes to faith, to Christ’s church and for the well-being of the person. ©2011 E. Stanley Ott: The Vital Churches Institute  901 Allegheny Ave  Pittsburgh, PA  
