Praying for Your Mormon Friend
Does it seem that you are praying the same thing again and again? Do you want to pray more specifically--and biblically--for the salvation of your Mormon friends and loved ones?
Then return to the basics--the ABC's--and enrich your prayer life. Pray just one letter--or several letters--each day and confidently wait as the Lord moves in your loved one's life.
