Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This summer I met two pastors who led a workshop on the role of the Holy Spirit in preaching. As part of our conversation, one of the leaders, Dave, shared how important it was to have a mentor in the faith. His mentor, Dante, taught him the importance of prayer in ministry.
When they would go together for a hospital visit, as soon as they turned the car ignition off, Dante would pray for the person they would be visiting. Of course, they would pray with the person they were visiting in the hospital. Then, after the visit, they would pray again in the car before leaving.
My first thought was: That’s a lot of praying! My second thought was: That is amazing… that’s exactly what a faithful prayer ministry looks like.
Who are your mentors on the faith? Who “taught you the ropes” of prayer, Bible study, giving generously, and serving others? What would it look like to soak our lives in prayer? What would it look like to pray before, during, and after… and every time in between?
What do you think?
Peace,
Pastor Matt
