postmodern entry point

i attend work/church. it's a weekly, lunch time bible study at my job. we have different member's pastors come and lead the group for a couple months at a time. today we wondered if there was a way to make it safe for us to bring our pre-Christian co-workers. i'm thinking that perhaps there are a few steps for some of my co-workers before coming to bible study. after friendship, after personal testimony, after life lived in accordance with testimony in front of the friends, the next step may be prayer group. it seems people are cool with you praying for them. prayer doesn't involve new language to learn, and prayer lets someone taste and see that the Lord is good. 13 years ago i started praying with a couple guys, who were gifted with evangelism. they weren't scholars or saints but they had alot of friends and wanted those friends to check out God. alot of people came after awhile. it was a smoking and swearing and cruising for dates prayer group. it was nightclub community, that sought out God together for rent money, jobs, boyfriends, step parents, colds, shin splints, cars, and lost cats. people fell in love with God, some for his hand because he answered those petty prayers, some for Him because he forgave them their sins and gave their empty lives meaning. i thought it needed a discipleship component so we added a Bible study component. and many were added to the kingdom.

what is it about prayer groups? there is love in action and power in demonstration. its an experiential apologetic. its a taste and see for the Lord is good session.
