Praying for God’s mission and for the world.

“The Book of Acts is filled with prayer meetings; every forward thrust the first church made was immersed in prayer.

Take another look at the church at Pentecost. They prayed ten days and

preached ten minutes and three thousand people were saved. Today we pray ten minutes and preach ten days and are ecstatic if anyone is

saved.” - Ronald Dunn

Praying for God’s mission and for the world.

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners

Our Prayers can go where we cannot. While many things

may seem impossible from a human standpoint, in the

realm of prayer there are no impossibilities.

- Brother Andrew

7-Prayer as action

Rinaldy Damanik - Indonesia

"I am doing very well in both body and soul. I believe this is because of the many

prayers from many brothers and sisters all over the world. How am I aware of this? As of yesterday, since my detention at the

beginning of the year, I have received 13,425 letters and postcards from abroad."

8- Pray with faith Jesus replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you

can say to this mountain, ‘Move

from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be

impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20

8- Pray with faith

Maybe it would be better just to ask for safe things—“God, bless them” or “give them comfort”—instead of having the boldness

to ask for what I really want to see happen…

God’s reputation is God’s business, and it’s not my job to pray the prayers and

answer them too
