Many of these countries are closed to missionaries or openly antagonistic to the preaching of the Gospel. God said our first response in missionary service is to PRAY...then go. (Psalm 2:8)

            It is prayer that pulls down the strongholds of the enemy.  It is prayer that prepares the soil for the preaching of the Gospel.  Every one of us came to Christ because someone else prayed for us.

However the first two are the most important or are the key to successful community transformations and to know God.
