Two of the “bread and butter” activities for any Christian are evangelism and prayer. God says of His people, that they are to be a “house of prayer for all nations.” He also says that His heart is that “none should perish”. Both prayer and evangelism stand alone as imperative works of God’s people, yet they each have a unique potential to fuel the other. Evangelism without prayer will generally bear little fruit.
Conversely, prayer without an evangelistic focus and goal can lead to an out of balance introspective habit. Through prayer we gain the heart of God. God’s heart burns for the salvation of the lost. Every Christian who give him or herself to prayer will eventually see a passion for the lost fill his or her soul. A passion for His presence will indeed birth a passion for people.
We believe the above to be true. Therefore, at Grace Church we’re constantly seeking to draw near to God through prayer, and near to people through life giving outreach.
