You are called to evangelize, but don’t forget to pray for Jesus to prepare the hearts of those you’ll reach with his Gospel.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Every year, our friends Roger and Margo from Wales come to California to visit family. Roger and Margo have a ministry traveling up-and-down Wales to show my DVDs to small Bible study groups in little churches. Well, just before they left, Margo and Roger asked if they could take some tracts back to Wales – so we packed up a bunch of booklets I’ve written over the years for our radio listeners. They were thrilled! But before we parted company, we prayed over those gospel booklets as Acts 26 says, that God would “open peoples’ eyes, so that they might turn from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to God, that they might receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith.” Friend, you and I are called to evangelize. But let’s not forget to pray for Jesus to prepare the hearts of those we reach with his Gospel no matter where in the world.
