Evangelistic Praying by design is short and simple, in hope that it may be read and applied at one sitting and resorted to often. The time taken to soak in its contents will bring clarity and comprehension to the message, meaning and application of Jesus' words to believers in Matthew 9:38 when He states, "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest."
The fields are white unto harvest while the laborers are few in nearly every nook and cranny of the earth. The means in which laborers are sup-plied in these places is from Christians like yourself who pray them out of schools, colleges, churches, seminaries and secular work. It's not the pray-ing that calls them; that's the Lord of the Harvest's task. However, it's the praying that moves God's hand to "send" them into His harvest.
Evangelistic praying works, for it is the divinely appointed and authorized means of Jesus for the placement of laborers according to their spiritual giftedness and skills wherein they are needed the most. In making evangelistic praying a priority, you will play a big part in the dispatching of laborers to various mission posts of the world and the conversion of the unsaved. Outside of soul winning, it may well be the greatest work the Christian will ever undertake.
