Acts chapter four speaks of the New Testament Church shortly following the ascension of Jesus. The followers of Jesus came under close scrutiny of the Jewish priests for their teaching and healing ministry in the name of Jesus. Verse #13 the priests "took note" that the disciples "had been with Jesus". (In other words; the influence of Jesus was upon their lives and it was apparent. (To be accused of that would be a privilege.) Verses 29-31 tells us they prayed for boldness, and the Holy Spirit filled them to speak the word of God "boldly".

Easter week is so full and so important, prayer is vital to what we do. Pray that the Holy Spirit will work in and through those that extend invitations to the unchurched people that we know.
