Ways to Use Prayer to Share the Gospel
Prayer aligns us with the work of God and allows us the privilege of participating in His unfolding plan. Certainly we need to pray for evangelism and the spread of the gospel. For example, Paul often exhorted the believers to pray for his witness to others (Colossians 4:3,4), even as he prayed for the salvation of his own people (Romans 10:1).
In culture today there has come an openness to prayer as a common spiritual experience. The majority of people today claim prayers as part of their regular way of life. Though there is great divergence in whom they pray to and how they pray, the act of prayer can be common ground. In light of these realities, many have discovered prayer to be an effective means of outreach-praying not only for evangelism, but also prayer as evangelism. So, we encourage you and those in your Impact chapter to make prayer a daily part of your lives and start your evangelism outreaches with prayer.
