The Cause Circle

The Cause Circle is a simple way of following the example of Jesus and living out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20).

Jesus is calling us to lovingly His Gospel message with those who don't know Him.

Jesus Prayed First

Luke 5:15-26

Throughout His ministry, Jesus often headed off to be alone so He could pray.

Jesus knew that in order to effectively talk to about , He must talk to about .

Through Jesus' times of prayer, the Father filled Him with compassion, clarity, and courage. In the same way...

We must not only pray for our lost friends to be reached, but for the within ourselves to do whatever it takes to reach them.

Four Ways to Pray for Your Friends

1 Timothy 2:1-4 - Pray for others in all kinds of ways!
1. Pray for salvation

These are single-sentence prayers you can pray for your friend. You can pray just one line, several, or all of them.

2. Pray The Lord's Prayer

Pray it for your unreached friend and insert their name into it.

3. Pray a Name of God

Ask God to reveal different aspects of His character to your friend.

4. Pray a Question

Ask God a question and seek guidance from the Holy Spirit about how He would have you reach out to your friend.

Talk to God about people, before you talk to people about God.
