Abstract

Few pastoral leaders include evangelistic prayer as a strategic methodology for motivating evangelism. This project studied the association between prayer for non-Christians and evangelistic attitudes and behaviors. Does a directed focus upon evangelistic prayer increase intrinsic evangelistic attitudes and behaviors toward people without faith? Does prayer increase receptivity towards non-Christians -- an attitude change that leads to behavior change? Research focused upon qualitative analysis in case study methodology. The researcher discovered that directed prayer efforts for the lost increased intrinsic and sustained receptivity towards individuals who do not share one's faith, thus encouraging evangelistic prayer as a strategic methodology.
