Evangelists

So, I was praying and mediating, trying to figure out God's will for me one day. I felt led to compile these prayer lists. My longest category is the evangelism category. I ask God to honor these requests. Please feel free to "rip off" any of these lists and make your own changes, then use them in your own prayer time. I'd be delighted, and so would God.

  1. Give all evangelists a zeal and desire for Your word, Lord, and time spent with You in prayer.
  2. Give us all a humble, obedient, courageous, servant's heart.
  3. Give us the desire to use Your spiritual gifts.
  4. Rig us up in Your armor, Lord.
  5. Give us a hunger to spend time in Your word and prayer, seeking Your will. Give us consistency in doing so.

  8. Give us unity with other belivers, and Your love for the unreached, fellow workers, new converts, the backslidden, and strong believers. Give us all physical safety.

There is no higher calling than to share the Gospel!

Well, everyone is called to serve differently! I would be pretty useless without my Bibles, tracts, etc... and if I didn't have the moral support I might not have the zeal!
