Day 31 - Chapter 6, Verses 7-13


He summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over unclean spirits. He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick--no food, no sack, no money in their belts. They were, however, to wear sandals but not a second tunic.

He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave from there. Whatever place does not welcome you or listen to you, leave there and shake the dust off your feet in testimony against them." So they went off and preached repentance. They drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.

Part of discipleship is being on a mission - helping to bring Christ to the world. These leave with comparatively little resources. What do you think you would need to take on this journey? Can you ask the Lord for what you need to be a disciple on a mission?
