How alike are you and the Apostle Paul?

Picture 18

On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is not at all alike and 10 is very much alike, rate how alike you and the Apostle Paul are when he says in Romans 10:1 “it is my heart’s desire and prayer to God that they are saved”?
Wherever you sit on this scale, we all could be more passionate and personal in the way we pray for our local communities:

LIST all the different demographics unique to your community and pray without ceasing and without growing weary.

LEARN about each demographics best interests, perceived hurdles to the gospel and pray! Ask God for new relationships & depth in existing ones, for opportunities to love, serve, get to know and care for each demographic.

KNOW what is going on in the local community: events and activities that are run by locals for locals. Pray for the success of the events and for your own time to invest in local relationships through these events.

WALK and pray for the residents of each house you pass. Stop at street signs and pray for entire streets.

NAME all the people individually who you have met and come to know in your local area – be faithful for years in prayer for them.
