Earlier this month on the Sovereign Grace Church Development website, Mickey Connolly reminded pastors and church leaders that preaching and praying must go together for effective evangelism. In his book Prayer, John Bunyan said “You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.” Scripture encourages and guides us in how to pray for opportunities, specific people, boldness and courage, the power of the spirit, a greater heart for the lost, more laborers, and clarity in presenting the gospel.
