 God has called us as evangelism disciples. If so, what is the greatest prayer for evangelism disciples? Try asking God why we must live on this earth. Whether studying or working at a workplace or church, try asking God, ‘Why do I need to do this work?’ As we continue to ask this question, we will come to realize that there are many things that we do with ulterior motives. Particularly, it is more so when it comes to our Christian living and the life of evangelism. If so, then what is the greatest prayer that we as evangelism disciples must grab hold of?




1. Every day, in all events, work and people
 We must ask the following questions every day, through all events, work and people. ‘God, why must I do this work? What is Your plan?’ At this time, we will come to discover tremendous answers and the Word will draw near to us in a concrete way and doors of evangelism will open. It is at this time that prayer becomes reality. Answers will be found whenever we pray. We will find greater answers when problems arise.





2. Life evangelism
 The blessing that all evangelism disciples must look for is life evangelism. This is the greatest prayer for evangelism disciples. Everyone has a life schedule. We must think about evangelism with the daily schedule for life. Then we will come to find evangelism that fits our own level and circumstances. Paul wrote letters of a high level and gave rise to many works, and those became the epistles in the New Testament. As we continue on like this, the reason for our lives and the story of our lives will emerge. It is at this time that we will realistically experience the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Starting then, we will come to understand our own sense of identity regarding who we are and what we must do, and answers will be found in our field everyday, and important answers will begin in the church that we serve. Through such answers, disciples will arise through meetings. We will discover our lifelong purpose of what we must live for. This is the life of an evangelism disciple.





3. What evangelism disciples must keep in mind
 What evangelism disciples must keep in mind is that they must continue this with their whole heart and with one mind. What is more important is to always ask the question ‘Why?’ before God. Then we will see what is important and urgent; the accurate problem and the answer will come into view. If we always ask this question before God, He will give us answers in our minds and thoughts. And He will give answers in our conscience. This is the number one prayer for evangelism disciples.
