### The King's Passion for a House of Prayer Prayer is a wonderful way to bring non-Christians before the Father. Just getting to know someone and praying with them is a wonderful way to share Jesus. Ed and Anne Wiens became full-time missionaries to the diverse international people in our community. The Wiens always had one or two students boarding with them. They invited every international and new immigrant visitor to their home for weekly meals, Bible study, and prayer. They also invited the students to bring another international friend along for holidays and celebrations. Happy guests filled the living room. Several of our younger gifted leaders joined in to help. This home became a wonderful house of prayer for all peoples, with many joyful stories of salvation. We have learned that for heart transformation to occur, we need to take time to fast and pray for God to give us His heart and love those who don’t know Him. Like Jesus, we need to see that each and every unbeliever is lost and hurting at his or her core. If God is missing, so is lasting hope and real joy. As we pray, Jesus’ zeal for God’s fame becomes internalized and our affections pivot to the glory of God, a love for the nations, and a passion for prayer. Zeal for God comes first. Jesus loves His creation, but He is not a humanitarian. Jesus’ actions are driven by a passion for God’s glory. Likewise, the more we are jealous for God, the more we will be moved with a passion for God’s glory, to reach and serve a lost world. Zeal for God’s name is the well-spring of that passion.
