To launch a disciple making movement (DMM), we’re all told that we need to embrace extraordinary prayer. In fact, at least one very successful disciple maker (who ended up with 1.7 million disciples as his legacy — so far) has said that prayer is the most critical factor.

So confidentially (you don’t have to comment below the web version of this item), how much do you really pray? A recent study by Barna revealed that most pastors in the USA pray only 5 minutes or less per day. Yikes. So how do we help one another get over the hump? One solution (for those who are into ‘apps’) is PrayerMate.
