One of the most important assignments believers have is to pray family and friends to Christ. Jesus interceded for future converts when He said to the Father, “I pray also for those who will believe in me through their [disciples’] message” ( John 17:20). Paul interceded for the salvation of fellow Jews with heartfelt prayer: “Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved” (Romans 10:1, TNIV). In a letter to Timothy, Paul urged that “requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone.” Such praying, said Paul, “pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” The New Testament picture is certainly clear. Prayer precedes conversion.
