Last night I gave the WBC congregation seven ways we (as requested by him when he addressed the IMB trustees last week in Dallas, TX) as a church and a convention can be praying for Tom Elliff, the newly elected President of the International Mission Board.
Here are the seven requests:
1. Illuming awareness that he is an ambassador for Christ.
2. Pure heart.
3. Fullness of the Spirit.
4. Exhibit gifts and graces of the Spirit.
5. Never unwittingly place in Satan's hands a weapon to use to mock Jesus.
6. Protection from Satanic attacks toward family.
7. To be kept faithful to the vision.
How does Tom Elliff frame his sense of mission? By asking three questions framed around the Great Commission:
1. Is it biblical?
2. Is it balanced?
3. Is it bold?
You can read his entire acceptance speech here.
