 Oct 13 - Vignettes on Prayer

 

     This next series of Vignettes is on a personal hero of mine.  He is called the Prince of prevailing prayer.  His name is Daniel Nash.  Daniel Nash (1775-1831) pastored a small church in a remote part of New York for six years, and traveled with and prayed for a traveling evangelist for seven more years until his death.   He never ministered outside the region of upstate New York which was no more than farms and small communities.. His grave is in a neglected cemetery along a dirt road behind a livestock auction barn. His church no longer exists, its location marked by a historical marker in a corn field.  No books tell his life story, no pictures or diaries can be found, and his messages are forgotten. He wrote no books, started no schools and led no movements.  His only claim to fame is that he was a man of prayer.  He was the man who behind the scenes prayed in some of the greatest evangelistic campaigns in North America.  A quick lesson most great intercessors are ones no one knows about.    The information on Daniel Nash comes from a essay wrote on his life by J Paul Reno
