“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” (Ephesians 5:25)

Pray for stronger, Christ-centered marriages marked by grace, patience, and selfless love.

Leading a ministry sometimes feels a little like feeding the five thousand...

You start the week with a plan.

By Wednesday, you're praying over the plan again.

By Friday, you're wondering where you are with the plan. 😄

The good news? God has always specialized in multiplying what we faithfully place in His hands.

As you head into the weekend, celebrate the wins—big and small. Every encouraging conversation, every faithful decision, every life impacted matters more than you know.

"Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." — Galatians 6:9

Happy from all of us at Christian Leadership Alliance! 🍟☕

Please join Avant Ministries in praying for the spread of the Gospel and making Jesus known.

As outreach efforts continue during the World Cup, will you keep praying with us?

God is opening doors for the gospel to be shared with people from around the world. Please pray for those who have heard the Good News, that God would continue to work in their hearts, and for meaningful follow-up with those who are interested in learning more about Jesus.

Thank you Reaching Souls International for impacting his kingdom in so many ways!

God doesn't just rescue us from our past. He gives us a purpose for our future.

The streets that once represented addiction became the place where one of our National Missionaries shared the hope of Christ with another man searching for a new beginning.

A Prayer for Wholehearted Surrender

“I have one desire now—to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.” — Elisabeth Elliot

Heavenly Father,

Give us hearts that are fully surrendered to You. Remove every distraction that competes for our devotion and replace fear with faith, hesitation with courage, and comfort with obedience.

Teach us to love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. May every decision we make, every conversation we have, and every opportunity we steward reflect our desire to honor You. Let our leadership be marked not by personal ambition, but by faithful service and complete trust in Your purpose.

Help us to invest our gifts, our time, and our energy in the work that advances Your Kingdom. When the path is difficult, strengthen us. When we are weary, renew us. When we are uncertain, remind us that Your plans are always good.

May our lives be a testimony of wholehearted devotion—lived boldly, humbly, and joyfully for Your glory alone.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” — Mark 12:30

Amen.

“Let all that you do be done in love.”
— 1 Corinthians 16:14

A simple reminder as the day comes to a close: our greatest impact is not only found in what we accomplish, but in how we serve others along the way.

Lead with love. Serve with humility. Finish the day grateful.

"Leadership development doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by investment." ~~ Christian Leadership Alliance

Every organization is shaped by the leaders it develops, equips, and empowers.

At Christian Leadership Alliance, we believe leadership growth extends beyond one individual. It is about creating a culture where every associate is encouraged to grow, lead, and make an impact.

Through CLA’s resources, learning opportunities, and member benefits, organizations have access to tools designed to help equip their teams, strengthen leadership capacity, and bring biblical principles and proven leadership practices into their ongoing training and development.

Whether you are investing in emerging leaders, equipping ministry teams, onboarding new associates, or strengthening the leadership skills of your current team, CLA resources can help you multiply your impact through the people God has entrusted to your organization.

As Paul encouraged Timothy:

"The things you have heard me say… entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." — 2 Timothy 2:2

The greatest return on leadership investment happens when learning is shared, wisdom is multiplied, and leaders intentionally equip others.

What resource or training opportunity has helped your organization equip leaders well? Share your experience below—we would love to learn from you.
