Coffee Devo with Pastor Jim Halstead and Pastor Peter from Living Gospel Church explores an important lesson from the Go & Tell Ministries evangelism workshop: if we are not praying for people, we are unlikely to share the Gospel with them.

Pastor Peter shares what he learned during the evangelism workshop and how prayer changes the way we approach people who need to hear about Jesus. Evangelism begins long before we have a Gospel conversation. It can begin by simply bringing someone’s name before God and consistently praying for their salvation.

Pastor Jim also emphasizes that evangelism is often a long-term mission. The people God has placed in our lives may need to be prayed for over many years. We may not immediately see the results of our prayers or know when someone will be ready to hear the Gospel, but we can remain faithful and continue praying.

Prayer helps us develop a genuine burden for others. As we pray for our friends, family members, coworkers, neighbors, and communities, God can prepare both their hearts and ours for opportunities to share the Gospel.

Evangelism is not about rushing someone into a decision. It is about faithfully following Jesus, building relationships, praying consistently, recognizing opportunities, and trusting God with the results.
