Letting everything we do be impregnated with prayer

We went to Dallas. The Bible Belt of the United States. We visited Dallas Baptist University, which has 5,000 students. What has been very clear time and time again is how this has been nurtured with prayer in this strongly Christian environment. When Dallas Baptist University got a new operations manager several years ago, he began his employment by recruiting 1,000 intercessors for the school.

Today during the introduction to the seminars we attend, this was mentioned. Then the person in charge of the course tells us that all 30+ participants in the seminars are the subject of personal prayer from the person who is the chairman of the mission organization. He also tells us that on one occasion he needed help in prayer for something special. When he tells the person who is the chairman of the organization, he asks to write it down. He takes out a notebook, flips to a page and says; “Here I have your page with your prayer topics.”

It is also here in the United States that we have experienced fantastic prayer revivals and had great revival evangelists such as Billy Graham. And it is as if this Spirit of prayer has been preserved in a clear way in the different contexts we have encountered during these days.

The lesson we carry with us is to let everything we do be impregnated with prayer.
