Thoughts on Missionary Prayer 6

"We usually limit ourselves to asking God in private that people will come to Jesus. This is important. We must go beyond this first step. We must discern what it is that they consider important and pray for that need to be met by God. When this happens, it acts as an eye-opener as far as the gospel is concerned."
