Prayers for the Evangelist
Reasons for Evangelism from the Bible
****Fishing without catching (1) ****An empty banquet table (2)
****Sowing without reaping (3) ****A fig tree that bears no figs (4)
****Lost sheep not brought into the fold (5) ****A lost coin that is sought but not found (6)
****Ripe harvests that are not reaped (7) ****Proclamation without response (8)
The Desire of the Evangelist
"God grant that I may live to fish, until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last cast, I then most humbly pray.
When in the Lord's safe landing net, I'm peacefully asleep.
That I be judged, good enough to keep." Amen
A Prayer for Church Mission
"Draw your church together, O Lord, into one great company of disciples, together following our Lord Jesus Christ into every walk of life, together serving him in his mission to the world, and together witnessing to his love on every continent and island. We ask this in His name and for His sake." Amen
"Lord, make us not like porridge, thick and stodgy, but like cornflakes, crisp and ready to serve." (9)
Church Army
"Church Army is a society of evangelists within the Anglican Communion, which exists to enable people to come to a living faith in Jesus Christ."
A Prayer for the Evangelist
"Holy Spirit, empower all to whom you have given the gift of evangelism, that in their proclamation of the Gospel they may boldly tell the Good News, so that those who are without hope may find hope, those who feel worthless may find their true worth, those who are friendless may find friendship, those who are loveless may find in you love and beauty, so that all may find their true destiny in fellowship with the One God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit." Amen
Every Christian's Duty
"Not merely in the words you say, Not only in your deeds confessed, But in the most unconscious way, Is Christ expressed."
