Week 9 - The Role of Prayer in Evangelism

In Colossians 4:2-4, Paul emphasizes that prayer is not just a side activity to evangelism—it’s the foundation. Before asking for boldness or clarity, Paul requests prayer. He reminds us that only God can open doors for the gospel and give us the words to speak. This lesson underscores the importance of daily, intentional prayer as we seek to reach others for Christ. Prayer softens hearts, strengthens the messenger, and keeps our focus on God’s power, not our own. If we want to be effective in sharing Jesus, we must start by talking to God about the people we hope to reach.
