Training the People of Parkway Baptist Church, Fort Myers, Florida, To Pray Evangelistically

Abstract

This project provided training in evangelistic prayer to the people of Parkway Baptist Church in Fort Myers, Florida. Chapter 1 lists the project goals, describes the church's history and current status at the time of writing, along with its ministry context and demographics. The dearth of evangelistic praying explained the need for this project with the intent not just to pray evangelistically, but to train in the use of prayer as an evangelistic tool--relational prayer witnessing.

Chapter 2 defends the concept of evangelistic praying by establishing its biblical and theological precedent. Chapter 3 traces the historical precedent for evangelistic praying, explaining that every great harvest of souls in the New Testament church can be traced to prayer. Chapter 4 details the methodology used to implement and execute this project, with neighborhood food collections playing a prominent role. Chapter 5 presents a final analysis, evaluation, and reflection on the project's effectivenss
