The Mission of the Evangelist

Every evangelist, indeed every preacher, first must develop the habit of serious prayer. It is in the prayer closet that a person's life is transformed into the Jesus. Second, the evangelist must be an intercessor for the people he she has reached for Christ and those yet to be reached. Third, the evangelist needs the intensive prayer support of other people. Fourth, prayer is the evangelist's indispensable weapon in spiritual warfare. Number one is prayer in the life of the evangelist. Prayer is the simplest act a creature of God can perform. It is divine communion with our Heavenly Prayer gives vision to the believer. It gives eyes to our faith. In prayer we go beyond ourselves and focus on God's infinite power. Prayer is a gift God has given to us. Prayer is the mightiest weapon in the evangelistic arsenal. There are certain things that never happen unless we ask God to bring them to pass.
