This year I have had the awesome opportunity to disciple two ladies in our Emerging Leader program. Through this relationship I’m constantly reminded to pray for them in addition to praying with them. It is awesome to stand in the gap for the ones you pour into. As you know Christ is our model for making disciples, In John 17 He shows us that prayer is a key component. In verse 8 He states that He gave them the words that God the Father gave Him and that they received them and truly understood them. Then in verse 11 He asks that they be kept in the name. Later on in verse 15 He asks that they be kept from the evil one. As we disciple women we need to pray that they stand firm in the word of God and that they will not be lead astray.
