Preacher and Prayer

There is no expiration of a prayer for a prayer once made has wings, a life and a force that reach far into the future and into eternity-all for the glory of God. A man prayed. God listened. God would answer in His perfect time. This was the case in the life of E. M. Bounds. In a small southern town of Washington, Georgia a frail old man prayed. He prayed for the salvation of his offspring. His knees grinded the gray wooden slats of his prayer closet as he anguished in intercessory prayer for his boy Osborne. E. M. Bounds died in 1913 with his son Osborne unsaved. Sixty-three years later in 1976 God moved a strategic piece on His chessboard in the form of Marion Price. Marion Price was used of God to lead the 84-year-old son of E. M. Bounds to Christ. God had finally answered the desperate prayer of E. M. Bounds for his son Osborne. We will let Brother Price relate the story taken from his own account in his booklet entitled Never Quit Praying For Your Loved Ones.
