Prayer Time

Activation: Press Into The Conviction

Each person say what you are most excited and feel the most conviction for with the initiatives in the Cultivate booklet (Menifee Plant, CP en Español, Flow Nights, Discipleship Upgrade, & CP Homefront). 

Take a moment for each person to share which Cultivate initiative they feel most excited about and most convicted to engage in (Menifee Plant, CP en Español, Flow Nights, Discipleship Upgrade, or CP Homefront).

After sharing, break into groups based on those shared convictions and spend focused time praying over the initiative God is stirring in your hearts, asking for wisdom, faith, and obedience as you step into it and help own the vision.
