Is prayer the foundational strategy for your life, ministry, family, workplace, etc.? Or, is it a short devotional time in the mornings, the way to open and close meetings, used as a transition to move people around on the platform during worship, or a last resort when all of your own efforts have failed?
Our friend, Greg Pruett, President of Pioneer Bible Translators, has seen a transformational change in the organization he leads. The reason? Prayer is PBT's strategy. Greg states, "God is real and wants me to rely on Him first, not as a last resort...I began to learn not to pray about my strategies, but to make prayer the strategy." Since this ministry shift towards becoming a prayer-focused organization comprised of prayer-focused people, Greg and his coworkers have seen God triple the number of missionaries, give them greater financial stability, enable more scriptures translated into more languages in a shorter period of time and have had greater effectiveness in reaching the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Wouldn't you like to see God move in power in your life and the life of your church or ministry? Scripture gives us the answer clearly: "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need" (Matthew 6:33 NLT).
