Prayer for Evangelism

Postby Etoh*the*Greato » Sat Jun 16, 2007 12:23 am

Hey, guys. This week I'm headed off to colorado with my mother, my aunt, and my cousin Dan. Dan is someone I care for a lot. We grew up together, and as children we were basically best friends. His sister and I still are and I've been used as an important part in bringing her back to Christ but Dan... Well... He's not really an atheist that I know of. God's just pretty low on his priority list. He's a non-theist... a... Really, a nothing religious at all type, you know? He doesn't have a beliefeset that is defined in any direction what so ever. He just doesn't care. He's a musician trying to build a career out of his passion, and that's the only thing on his mind. The devotion he's put towards it is amazing, really, but that's a story for another time. Needless to say, I both admire and love my cousin.

Soo... The trip. I'm gonna be basically alone with this guy for a week. We're gonna go camping around some old stomping grounds, and play games, and chill in our collective favorite place in the world... And I'd like to be able to plant a seed. Pray that God uses me however He sees fit. Pray that the moment is opened, that I don't miss the moment, and that I don't screw anything up. Yeah... I think that's pretty much it.

I will pray for "Etoh*the*Greato*Spirit*Warrior!"

I added that last part myself....

Seriously, I will pray that Dan is touched.
It takes bad jokes to appreciate the good ones.

While I agree with your attentiveness, I would caution you not to seem too preachy. And, don't get discouraged if the subject of religion doesn't come up. Let your actions speak clearly; many times people will notice godly actions even if they don't comment. That being said, I will certainly be praying. Be sure to let us know how things go.

“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!â€

Prayers sent that God will provide and abundance of opportunities, guide you in doing neither less nor more than He wants you to and help Dan to turn to Him. Also that your trip will go well in all ways.

And don't forget to enjoy it! One of the things that seems to really put people off Christianity is gloomy, uptight Christians. (Eh... s'pect it would be nice I took me own advice there... and s'pect the folks around me feel the same way.) It's a hard act, balancing responsibility and joy, but God promised to help us.

Hope your trip goes well!

Piney.
