Pattern for Life vs DOXA Prayer

In Pattern, with the help of the text and audio guides that include the Bible verses, your small group will experience authentic, simple, and reproducible patterns for life as disciples of Jesus. In fact, as you care for one another, discover God’s principles and practices, put into action what you discover, experience God’s presence, and share it with others—you will begin to help other people form groups and grow together in their living rooms. Using the life cycle of a plant as inspiration, these grouped journeys are categorized as Begin, Follow, Grow, and Gather. These help each group find the point where they want to begin as they grow together. Each journey organizes the meeting into three portions of interaction that any person in the group can facilitate. We can’t wait for you to experience how one week’s gathering ties into the next to help you grow. It is a Pattern for life! The Pattern App, always and forever free, is filled with ways and reminders to help you share sets of journeys or a PDF or MP3 audio file of the journey. The app contains helpful tutorial screens, ways to connect with a coach to help you, extra topics related to life’s needs, an optional privacy lock screen, and more. Perfect for small groups wanting to grow and become active and fruitful disciples of Jesus Uses the format of Discovery Bible Studies that millions of people are using around the world Filled with journeys to help every person grow wherever they may be in their understanding of Jesus Contains journeys in both audio and text An ever-expanding set of topical journeys about life’s important issues like love, marriage, hope, persecution, faith, etc.

DOXA Prayer helps you pray, faithfully, for the unreached — the people groups who have little or no access to the good news of Jesus. Choose a people group to stand with in prayer, and DOXA becomes your companion for the journey. Each day you'll find fresh, guided prayer content: a moment to pause and pray, a glimpse into a "day in the life" of the people you're praying for, and the specific needs that matter most. WHY IT MATTERS Thousands of people groups around the world remain unreached. Prayer is where lasting change begins. When you commit to a group, you join believers around the world lifting up the same people — working toward hundreds of people playing, so not an hour passes without someone praying for them. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Choose your people group — browse and search, then commit to the group God puts on your heart. • Pray with daily content — open the Pray tab for guided prayer, Scripture to reflect on, and a window into each people's life, language, and culture. • Set gentle reminders — pick the days and times that work for you, and DOXA will nudge you when it's time to pray. • Learn as you pray — explore each group's population, primary language, religion, and the gospel resources available to them (Bible translation, the Jesus Film, audio scripture, radio, and more). • See the movement — see how many people are committed to praying • Discover the People Group of the Day — meet a new group each day. • Invite others — share your people group or show a QR code so friends can pray alongside you. • Stay in the loop — sign up for updates about your people group and news from DOXA. BUILT FOR EVERYONE DOXA is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, and Arabic, so you can pray in the language of your heart. Prayer moves the unreached toward the day they hear, for the first time about the love of God through Jesus Christ. Download DOXA and make prayer part of your everyday life. "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." — 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
