Oswald Chambers once said, "prayer is not preparation for the main task, prayer is the main task." It is something very few in the West really understand. Above all else, prayer makes the difference between success and failure in helping others discover Jesus, and committing their lives to him. In a recent study by Mission …

The Psalty Saints
Jesus was on song when he gave us a very simple, reproducible task; the Great Commission. That is, make disciples who multiply. Like to hear a story then?
