WHO'S YOUR ONE?
As part of our Pray Charleston 2026 campaign, we are also participating in Who's Your One? Who’s Your One? is a personal evangelism initiative from the North American Mission Board that encourages every believer to intentionally identify one person who does not know Jesus, pray regularly for their salvation, and look for opportunities to share the gospel. It reminds us that evangelism isn’t about reaching everyone at once, but faithfully reaching the one God has placed on our heart.

PRAY WITH SCRIPTURE
God is pleased when we communicate with Him by reading His Word whether out loud or silently. Simply open to scripture with an attitude of reverence and meditation. Reflect on what God is saying to you as you read his truth and promises.

PRAY THROUGH TOPICS
In order to stay focused and on track, you can pray over a list of topics. Take some time to jot down those areas that are close to your heart. Also, consider areas in which others may need to feel God's presence and impact in their lives.

USE PRE-WRITTEN PRAYERS
For some, coming up with the words is truly difficult. We understand. You can tune your heart with prayers that have already been composed.

PRAY WITH MOVEMENT
Prayer does not have to be still. In fact, the Bible talks about lifting up holy hands (1 Timothy 2:8) and bowing in reverence of God (Psalm 5:7). You can pray through journaling and while walking and praying over the people and places that come to mind.
