3 more ways to help your small group to pray outwardly:

4. “Drive-by” praying. Challenge your group members to pray as they drive to and from your small group gathering. Pray for churches they pass, asking that the gospel be preached there. Pray for believers who teach and attend public schools they pass. Intercede for children they drive by, praying they would hear the good news of Jesus. As your members pray, they will begin to see their community as their mission field.

5. People group praying. Through the missions group with whom your church works, select an unreached people group and begin praying for them. Consider contacting missionaries in the area to see how you might assist them. If you want to learn more about unreached people groups, go to https://joshuaproject.net.

6. “Fathers Focus on Prayer” group. Call the men of your small group to meet monthly or quarterly and pray for their families, with specific focus on their children knowing the Lord. Then, pray that their families will be a strong witness for Christ.
