Goals: To Pray

I have a handful of goals for this blog...

• To Obey
• To Pray
• To Learn 
• To Teach
• To Model
• To Report 
• To Encourage

To Pray.   The Apostle Paul wrote to the young evangelist, Timothy:

"First of all, then, I 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. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time" (1 Timothy 2:1-6).

The mission that we are a part of is a participation in the very mission of God.   He is the Lord of the harvest, and we are called to pray to him.

So at a very basic level, this blog exists as an aide to prayer, both for myself and for others.   Writing about gospel conversations with people in Calgary helps me to remember names to faces as well as imprinting the conversation more firmly in my memory.

Would you join me in praying for these folks?

I'll try to include a brief prayer at the end of each Gospel Conversation.   There's a place where you can register your prayer as well...
