Let us pray for the saints to be vitalized personally and with companions so that they might “go fishing”

Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would get vitalized personally and with a few co-laboring companions to the extent that they would “go fishing” to get some “new fish” (Dan. 1:6; 2 Tim. 2:22).

Let us pray for the saints to proclaim the glad tidings of Christ’s victory
