Prayer Evangelism Training

Prayer Evangelism is the most successful method we have found to evangelize people on the streets of New York City. We set up a Prayer Stand or Payer Station table with a red Prayer banner above it. We then pass out tracts and ask people as they walk by: "Do you have any needs you would like me to pray for?" We pray for all requests right there on the street. It is normal for us to pray with hundreds of people each week. People are not offended by prayer and as we seek God for them through Prayer Evangelism, God opens up marvelous opportunities for us to talk and pray for their deepest need: 'Salvation.' People seek God for salvation continually.

Prayer Station Ministry was birthed by Nick Savoca from YWAM Metro NY. Details of the history, biblical basis and strategy of this wonderful outreach tool is detailed below.

Prayer Station Evangelism
by Nick Savoca

The History

In preparation for the annual New Year's Eve Outreach in 1992, we were praying and asking the Lord what He would have us do as an evangelism strategy. In answer to our prayer, we clearly heard God say, "Pray for people on the street". As we asked God for understanding on how to do this, He gave us the strategy for setting up a Prayer Station and inviting people to stop and receive prayer for their felt needs.

From the first day, people warmly responded and many were ready to receive prayer for their felt needs and subsequently open their hearts to the message of the gospel. This strategy has proved itself to be one of the most effective, powerful and disarming street evangelism methods we have ever been involved in.

The Biblical Basis

Throughout the ministry of Jesus and that of the apostles of the early church, we find an emphasis on prioritizing prayer for the felt needs of people as an initial strategy to reaching their hearts with the gospel. Jesus most often first prayed for a person's felt need then addressed the need of their eternal soul. This was also common in the ministry of Paul, Peter and the other apostles of the first century church.

In Acts chapter 3, Peter and John prayed for the healing of the crippled man at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. The man is healed and as a result the whole city is impacted with the gospel and the power of God.

Praying for people in the market place was an every day practice of the first century church. The miracles and healings that resulted were used of God to draw attention to the message of the gospel and the real need of the people - their need of a relationship with Jesus.

Most people in the world today are not hungering and thirsting after a spiritual relationship with God, but they all have very real needs they want God to help them with. It might be a healing, a job, a place to live, problems at home, for a member of their family or a close friend. By first addressing their need and believing God to meet their need, their hearts are warmed and opened to hear the gospel and respond.

Much has been discussed about the power of prayer in recent years in magazines and journals, as well as radio and TV. People are aware of the benefits of prayer and are not hostile to the idea of someone praying for their needs.

Praying for people on the street as is done with the Prayer Station Ministry is not a gimmick for the gospel. As was true in the ministry of Jesus and the early apostles, the prayers that were prayed for the unconverted were powerful and effective to meet their needs. So it is important that those Christians that participate in Prayer Evangelism are prepared to believe God for the miraculous. In this Prayer Evangelism method we not only pray for the lost, but with the lost. Prayer becomes something we do not just to prepare for battle, but the battle itself!

Every Christian can practice Prayer Evangelism since God has in these last days poured His Spirit out on all flesh. We don't need the gift of the evangelist, or the vocabulary of a great preacher. We are simply giving to others the special gift given to us through Christ - ACCESS WITH GOD!

The Basic Strategy

The ministry of Prayer Stations is based on the fact that we are providing an opportunity to pray for people who have a variety of needs and believing that God will hear our prayer and act on behalf of those for whom we pray. Our prayer of faith then becomes a starting point for us to share our faith.

In effect we begin by praying for the felt needs of people on the street, and then by the direction of the Holy Spirit move from their felt needs to their real need - giving their heart and life to Jesus! We begin with the temporal and move to the eternal.
