Pray that the saints would learn how to contact people by entering into their situation and would look to the Lord for the way (John 3:1-6; 4:5-7, 9-10).

Pray that the saints would see their urgent need to contact people and would go forth to reach them in their daily life by making appointments to meet with some a few nights a week and at lunch and dinner times (John 15:16 and 162; Luke 19:5-6, 9-10).

Pray that the saints would not care for mushrooming development but for the slow process of life that they may bear fruit in due time, asking the Lord to bear fruit through them once a year (John 15:7-8 and 72, 16 and 165; Hymns, #910, stanza 3).

Pray that the saints would practice to abide in the Lord in order that they may preach the gospel by imparting life to others (John 15:4-5; cf. 1 John 5:16a; Hymns, #925, stanzas 1-3).

Pray that the saints would see that to have the proper and genuine spreading of the gospel, they must have the overflow of the inner life and would realize their need to bear fruit by the overflow of the inner life (John 15:1-5; Hymns, #910, stanzas 1-2).

Pray that the saints would live a gospel-preaching life, being desperate and living uniquely for the gospel and saving time each week for contacting people (2 Tim. 4:1-2; Acts 8:4-5; 2 Tim. 2:2; Matt. 28:18-19; John 15:16a).

Pray that the saints would be burdened to diligently learn the way and the skills needed to preach the gospel, especially learning how to bring people to have a personal contact with the Lord by their spirit directly (John 3:3-6; 4:10, 14-15, 24).

Pray that the saints would realize their urgent need for the one accord as the key to effectively preach the gospel by prayer, the Spirit, and the Word (Matt. 18:19; Acts 1:14; 4:24a, 31; Rom. 15:6; Phil. 1:27).

Pray that in their preaching the saints would employ the Lord’s name with His authority as the power of the gospel (Acts 3:6; 4:10-12; Matt. 28:18-19).

Pray that the saints would receive the poured-out Spirit as the power to proclaim the gospel and that they would be released in their preaching so that the essential Spirit within and the economical Spirit without would come forth  (Luke 4:18-19; 24:47-49; Acts 1:8).
