Week 5: Preparation for Evangelism through Prayer

Evangelism Begins on Our Knees - Prayer Opens Hearts and Doors

📋 Introduction

Evangelism begins on our knees. Prayer prepares our hearts to obey God's call, and it opens doors for the Gospel to be received. This week we focus on prayer as the foundation for evangelism.

📖 Key Scriptures

Colossians 4:2–3 (KJV)

"Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds."

Isaiah 6:8 (KJV)

"Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me."

Acts 1:8 (KJV)

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

Romans 8:26 (KJV)

"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered."
