Hi Friends,
As we live the MyFriends Lifestyle, many of us are growing in loving our friends well and caring about what’s happening in their lives. But sometimes the next step feels unclear.
What do I say?
When do I say it?
How do I move from being a good friend to being a spiritual friend?

How do I move from being a good friend to being a spiritual friend?
Often, the answer is simpler than we think.
We start with prayer.
Not polished prayers.
Not long prayers.
Just honest, faith-filled prayers offered in love.

Prayer invites God into the relationship before any words about Jesus are spoken.
A Simple Story

Petra goes weekly to her local farmers’ market. One day, a lady she often chatted with shared that her daughter was seriously ill.
Petra gently asked, “Would you mind if I prayed for you?”
That simple offer changed everything.
As Petra prayed, the mother began opening up about her past experiences with church and faith. What started as a moment of prayer became the beginning of a friendship — born out of love and sustained through care.
Petra didn’t start with a gospel presentation.
She started with prayer.
She started with prayer.
And God did the rest.
Prayer Creates Space for God to Work
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” (Colossians 4:2)
Prayer shifts our posture.
It reminds us we are not the saviour — God is.
It moves us from pressure to dependence.
When we pray for our friends, we begin to see them as God sees them. We become more attentive to the Spirit’s prompting. And often, prayer becomes the bridge to deeper spiritual conversations.
What This Looks Like Practically
- Pray regularly for the people on your daisy
- Ask God to show you where they are on their spiritual journey
- Be open to praying with someone when the moment arises
- Ask the Holy Spirit for courage and sensitivity
When we Love, Pray, and Care, spiritual curiosity often grows naturally.
Prayer prepares hearts — theirs and ours.
Before the Words: Why Love, Pray & Care Comes First
In a post-Christian culture, starting with a gospel presentation often misses the moment.
Real impact begins earlier — with authentic love, intentional prayer, and consistent care.
Join us for a practical, story-filled webinar exploring why these “pre-evangelism” steps are essential — not optional — and how leaders have shifted culture toward Love, Pray & Care in ways that naturally open doors to faith conversations.
You’ll hear real examples, reflect on your own friendships, and identify simple next steps to help your friends move closer to Jesus.

For Those Who Facilitate MyFriends
Perhaps you’re already living the MyFriends Lifestyle — loving your friends, praying for them, and walking with them toward Jesus.
But what if God is inviting you to help others do the same?
Facilitating MyFriends isn’t about running a course. It’s about creating space for Christians to grow in confidence and faithfulness in their everyday relationships.
If you sense God nudging you to equip others in this way, we’d love to support you.

Who is one person on your daisy you can begin praying for more intentionally?
Small prayers.
