"I used to think that prayer should have the first place and teaching the second. I now feel it would be truer to give prayer the first, second, and third places, and teaching the fourth".What a powerful testimony for the priority of prayer mobilization! Yet, in my twenty plus years of serving as a mission mobilizer, my overall impression is that prayer -- and more importantly, prayer mobilization-- has yet to become our first priority.
"We are not dealing with an enemy that fires at the head only—that keeps the mind only in ignorance—but with an enemy who uses poison gas attacks which wrap the people round with deadly effect, and yet are impalpable, elusive. What would you think of the folly of the soldier who fired a gun into the gas, to kill it or drive it back? Nor would it be of any more avail to teach or preach to the Lisu here, while they are held back by these invisible forces. Poisonous gas cannot be dispersed, I suppose, in any other way than by the wind springing up and dispersing it. Man is powerless."As in the case of the Lisu, the American Church walks in a similar blindness; a blindness caused by an enemy, who, out of desperation for his own perservation, blockades God's people from understanding and embracing His call to world evangelization. Just think, after thirty-plus years of mission mobilization, the American Church only gives five cents out of every dollar for work designated as "missions"--and still only a tiny fraction of that goes to bless the unreached and least reached peoples! With such a record after these many years of labor, is it not well past the time to begin giving priority attention to prayer mobilization?
