"To open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me." Acts 26:15-18 NIV.

  • For whom should I start praying, asking the Lord to provide an opportunity for that person to hear the gospel?
