In Acts 2, there is an account about Jesus' disciples receiving the tongues of fire as the Spirit enabled them during the day of the Pentecost.
The disciples started to speak in they very own tongues covering each native languages. People made out of Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene, Rome, Cretans and Arabs, all of them were amazed by the languages used to declare the wonders of God.

Why praying in tongues? Essentially, this is God's way of ministering to His people. We often magnify our shortcomings in terms of language when we attempt to minister to others. Language seems to be the road block in communication. But God doesn't see this as a show-stopper. He can still use us to speak His word. He is able to convey the message through tongues. Remember, God doesn't work our ways, because He is the Way.
Wait no longer, let us start to speak and pray more in tongues !
