INTERCESSORY PRAYER

In travelling among the nations, John R Mott has made it a practice to study the sources of the spiritual movements which transform whole communities. Invariably, when he could reach the source, he found it to be intercessory prayer. "I heard of a man," he says, "who spent three hours a day in intercession." When someone asked him, "How can we multiply intercessors?" he answered, "I used to lay down a great many points on how to get people to pray, but I made up my mind that the only way to get them to pray is to do it myself!" {War Cry, The United Brethern}
