Multiplication through simple obedience

Join us as we look back over the week on 115.1. Stories from the UK, North Africa, and beyond highlight how simple acts of obedience are leading to multiplication and strengthening believers in challenging contexts. As we share these reports, they invite prayer and continued faithfulness in disciple making.

Rejoice

We rejoice in the story of a Nigerian believer based in the UK who has been intentionally sharing disciple-making principles with friends back home. Within just a month, one man in Nigeria embraced the vision and has already seen 20 groups begin. This reflects the principle of multiplication, as simple, reproducible tools are passed on and quickly take root through local obedience.

Give thanks

Give thanks for a young brother in Tunisia who travelled over 600 miles to serve others by facilitating a discipleship training camp. Gathering a group of young people and students from across the country, he helped equip them to return home and apply what they learned. This demonstrates the empowerment of ordinary believers, as local leaders take the initiative to train and mobilize others in their own context.

Intercede

Pray for UK-based Iranian followers of Jesus in Birmingham and Liverpool who recently gathered for teaching and mutual support. Ongoing news from Iran weighs heavily on them, yet two ministry workers in each city are helping them remain steady in faith and active in sharing hope. Ask for comfort, courage, and continued strengthening through community – a reflection of movement through relationships.

Pray also for outreach during a major horse racing season in Louisville, USA, where large crowds gather over several weeks. Local believers are engaging visitors with the message of Jesus while a connected team works to identify and rescue women and children at risk of trafficking. Pray for open hearts, protection, and effectiveness in both gospel witness and practical intervention – showing holistic disciple making.

Louisville in Kentucky, USA sees large crowds gathering this month.

Persevere in prayer

Continue to pray for a key leader in Vietnam who is facing serious health challenges, including pneumonia and colitis. After being transferred to a second hospital, his condition remains fragile. Pray for full healing, protection over his ministry, and strength for those serving alongside him. This situation calls for perseverance under persecution, as physical hardship threatens ongoing kingdom work.

Closing reflection

This week’s stories remind us that God’s work often advances through simple, faithful steps – sharing with a friend, travelling to equip others, or standing firm in difficulty. Through 115.1, these accounts are shared securely to encourage prayer and obedience. As disciples continue to act, teach, and persevere, movements grow in ways that are both quiet and far-reaching.
