This is the second part of the disciple-making prayer list that was given to me by Shodankeh Johnson, a faithful disciple maker for Jesus in West Africa.
If this prayer list inspires you to be a disciple maker in the mission field of your own home, school, workplace, neighborhood, and community, you will find a great resource, including video tutorials, here.
Pray…
