There's a long list of things that I don't do often enough, but one of them is to pray for the evangelists in the world. When we think of evangelists, we often think of the apostles after Jesus had ascended to heaven, and evangelism has taken a backseat in mainstream American churches. There's a litany of reasons, and I don't want to get into them now... but we don't focus much on church growth. However, around the world, the Word of God continues to be active and go out. May we join together in prayer to support and encourage those who are proclaiming the word to the non-believers. We support the Outreach Foundation, which is partnering with churches around the world who are focused on making the name of Jesus Christ known. There are countless ways to be involved, but let's start with prayer -- that the doors to hearts may be opened for the Word of God, that all may come to know Christ as Lord and King!
