PRAYER MOVEMENT
In 2 Peter 3:9 (ESV) we learn that " The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance." So as we devout ourservles as missionaries we ought to pray without ceasing. Prayer is the backbone of the mission as it directly connect us with God so that we sincerely do His will as we reach out to more and more people.
Apostle Paul further urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." -
1 Timothy 2:1–4 (ESV)
