Every One Counts
The Power of ONE

 

Matthew 6:9-13 (NKJV) 9  In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 

13 And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

 

Who’s your one? One friend, coworker, family member, or neighbor who doesn’t know Jesus?

90% of Christians have never led another person to Jesus.

Your One Matters…

Soul Tattoo: One Person + One Prayer + One Step of Obedience Can Change a City/Region.

1.) The mission is personal.

Matthew 28:19-20 (ESV) 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

The Great Commission wasn’t given to pastors, it was given to people.

 

 

Evangelism isn’t about personality it’s about obedience.

2.) The need is great.

Romans 10:13-15 (NLT) 13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”14 But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? 15 And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

If we stay silent, the world stays lost.

We don’t have to reach everyone, we just have to reach someone.

3.) The impact is eternal.

Luke 15:7 (ESV) 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

 

You may feel ordinary, but God uses ordinary people for eternal impact.

 

Leading one person to Christ could change generations.

Who’s Your One?

Luke 15:4 (ESV) 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?

If prayer is the language of heaven, then every voice matters. Every prayer counts. Everyone Counts.
