DAY 16 OF PRAYER AND FASTING

Day 16 – Boldness to Share the Gospel

May 15 to June 5th

Dear Bella Vista Church Family,



Today is Day 16 of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. As God continues to fill us with His Spirit and His love, He also calls us to be bold—not silent with the truth, but courageous, loving witnesses of the gospel.



In the early church, when believers faced opposition and fear, they prayed not for safety, but for boldness. And God answered with power. That same Spirit is alive in us today.



Today’s Focus: Boldness to Share the Gospel



Key Verses:“Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.” 

— Acts 4:29



“Always be prepared to give an answer... with gentleness and respect.” 

— 1 Peter 3:15



Suggested Reading: 

Acts 4; 1 Peter 3



Prayer:

Make me bold in proclaiming Your truth in all love and gentleness to my neighbors who so desperately need to know You. Let signs and wonders follow. Lord, help me not to keep the free gift of salvation to myself, but by the empowerment of Your Holy Spirit, help me to open my mouth and proclaim Your truth! In Jesus’s Name!



Today, ask God to stir up courage within you—not a harsh boldness, but a Spirit-filled confidence that’s full of compassion. Pray for divine appointments, for open doors, and for words that point people to Jesus. May boldness rise, not out of duty, but out of love.



Serving Jesus with you,

Pastor Timothy Anderson
