CTED Prayer
|
|
Father God, we resolve to pray and work
together until every person in our area has heard the salvation Gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ. We ask your blessing as we preach
and demonstrate the Gospel in love, power and confidence, with the
desire that all may be in a position to both receive your blessing and
decide for themselves about Jesus. Father, please lead us and empower
us by your Holy Spirit, as we work together to this end. We ask
this in the name of Jesus.
Amen
