Respond to Jesus

Come to Him today.

Jesus said, "Whoever comes to me I will never cast out" (John 6:37). If you want to receive Him, or come back to Him, pray one of these prayers from your heart.

Prayer of salvation

Heavenly Father,

I come to You as I am. I confess that I am a sinner and that my sin has separated me from You.

I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son, that He died on the cross for my sins, and that You raised Him from the dead on the third day.

I repent of my sins and turn away from them to You.

I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I believe I am saved by Your grace through faith in Him, and not by anything I have done.

Thank You for forgiving me, for making me a new creation, and for giving me Your Holy Spirit.

From today I will follow Jesus.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Romans 3:23; 6:23 · John 3:16 · 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 · Acts 3:19 · Romans 10:9–10 · John 1:12 · Ephesians 2:8–9 · 2 Corinthians 5:17 · Ephesians 1:13

Did you pray?

Welcome to the family of God.

If you prayed this and meant it, God's Word says you are His child (John 1:12; 1 John 5:13). Tell us, so we can walk with you.

We'll contact you personally and invite you to the MCK discipleship class, where you'll grow in God's Word, prayer and fellowship with other believers.

Your safety matters to us. We ask only for what we need to reach you. We follow up with you privately, one to one, and never share your details with anyone.

Why we made it

A conversation anyone can have.

Mango Tree Dialogues shows the kind of honest, respectful conversation about Jesus that happens every day between friends across cultures. It's part of MCK's literature ministry: a story that stays long after the visit, and travels where a missionary cannot.
