A few years after these strange days, I asked Glenda what she put her 'success' down to. Without blinking she answered, "Prayer. We prayed earnestly, regularly and specifically for your school, and the Lord in his grace answered us." As an evangelist who is sometimes tempted to think too highly of skill, style and creativity in evangelism, her words were (and are) a salient reminder that the 'harvest' is the Lord's not mine. The most basic gospel-promoting task, therefore, is not evangelism or financial generosity or even the godly life; it is prayer to the Lord of the harvest.
