You might have noticed that we’re just a little excited around here about our upcoming International Training Intensive. Ha.
Listen, we can’t help it.
It’s now less than a week away, and we’ll admit that our emotions are running a little high. Why? Because this is more than just one big dream to bring our Love God Greatly translators and leadership team together under one roof. It’s a celebration that begins with how God has moved in individual lives to bring us to this very place.
Sunu – who will be joining us from India – captured this sentiment well on her blog today:
“You see, three years ago, I was living a solitary Christian life. I was a work at home mom who didn’t get to mingle much with the outside world.
I didn’t really have any friends nearby who shared my faith, and I started craving a community of believers I could grow alongside with.
I cried out to God, that He would give me someone to talk to, share prayer requests with, and learn from the Bible together.
Well, God did answer that prayer when I stumbled upon the online Bible studies held at Love God Greatly. I joined one of their Facebook groups and started systematically studying the Bible along with them.
This group of like-minded women were in the same wavelength as me, understood me, and accepted me as I was. God blessed me with many wonderful friendships through the LGG community.
And as if that wasn’t enough, He’s taking a step further in the coming week!
As most of you might already know, I am from India. I’ve been born and brought up here, and never set foot outside the country even once. All that changes a week from now as I venture to Dallas, Texas to be a part of the LGG International Leadership Intensive!
Aaahhh, we’re praying hard, you guys.
– We’re praying that as changed, redeemed, constant receivers of God’s great grace, we’ll be able to adequately offer our united praise and thanksgiving back to our Savior as a LGG leadership body next week.
– We’re asking God to give us fresh vision and new ways to reach even MORE women around the world with the truth of God’s Word.
– We’re praying for our minds to grasp practical new skills that can greater propel the gospel into a world that desperately needs to know the hope that lives within us.
– We’re petitioning God for continued unity, provision, protection, and favor in a ministry that humbly and intentionally desires to make much of Jesus.
– And yes, we’re even begging Jesus to provide for the little stuff (that is actually the big stuff too) – things like: lots of preparation leading up to next week, the complexities of traveling abroad (international customs, connections, cultural differences, jet lag!), leaving our husbands and children behind (who-will-check-my-teenager’s-algebra-homework-while-I’m-gone?) and a host of other unique personal requests… while we run hard after what we’re confident God has called us to do.
Will you pray with us? For us?
It’s going to be an incredible week together, and we can’t wait for you to follow along with us!
**Would you share your personal prayer in the comments below? Together, let’s give this thing to God with all that we’ve got…
At His feet,
P.S. There’s STILL time to get your tickets for our Girls’ Night Out with Love God Greatly: a Praise & Prayer concert on the Friday night of the Intensive! If you are in the Dallas area (or you and your friends are up for a road trip!), we’d LOVE to see you there!! Get tickets your here.

Lord thank You for this opportunity to be Your women. Please through this intensive training move in LGG like never before in Jesus name. Amen.
Fathe we thank You in advance for this incredible time tha will take place with women from around the world. we ask You to knit them closer together in unity and ultimately much closer to You. Open their eyes to see the even greater vision You have for this ministry. Show them how to reach even more women. Fill them with more of Your Heart so that they won’t grow weary in doing good. Remind them that they are part of reaping a Harvest all over the world. Give them wisdom as they make decisions that will affect many. Please protect them in every way as they travel, and pour out Your Grace on their families as they will have to fend for themselves a bit more than usual. Provide for them as well in every way during the week. Refresh your daughters because they have refreshed so many. Strengthen them as they wait on You Lord. IN JESUS NAME! Lots of Love from south africa 😉
What a beautiful, tender and most meaningful petition to our Father in heaven!
Lord, I thank You for LGG! The ministry is such a blessing in my life. As all the leaders and LGG women across the world prepare for this event, I pray for safe travels, smooth international transitions, and Your perfect guidance for all! I humbly ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
I am so excited that the Love God Greatly movement is truly going Global! Praise God, for he is worthy! I thank you ladies for listening to that still small voice and the roar of the Lion for God’s desire is that we bring his message of hope to the nations. I serve as a team leader for groups that have traveled to the Yucatan in Mexico. There we work in in a rural village called, San Francisco el grande. Last year, God placed it on my heart to bring the Love God Greatly SOAP method to our pastor and his wife who live in the village. We taught them how to SOAP and to follow a Bible study. We brought the Open Your Bible study. I praise God because now the people there are growing closer to God through prayer, study, and fellowship! All praise goes to the Father who makes all things possible.

May they continue to be your vessel and light!
We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
