Flag of Slovenia
I don’t think I had heard much of anything about Slovenia until we started praying for them 2 nights ago! Or how about these guys?
The Solomon Islands
The Solomon Islands…we prayed for them last night.
I’ve been shocked at my lack of knowledge about the world that God created! I know nothing about world geography or the other people with whom I share this planet.
Using Operation World for our prayer times has been great for D and I. Since the beginning of our marriage we’ve struggled to make family devotions “work.” But now that we have a plan and a book to help guide us, family devotions are something that D and I actually look forward to. PTL! We want to have a family that consistently prays together, and we want to have a family that is focused on the global church and the great commission. We want to see us and our family truly live out the call to make disciples of all nations.
Did you know that there are 1,420.2 MILLION people in SOUTH ASIA ALONE who have never heard of our savior, Jesus? There are 225.5 MILLION people in the Arab world who have never heard. Less that 0.05 % of Afghan people are Christians. In Turkey, the number drops to 0.01 %.
Sobering, huh? D and I have been really sobered by reading through Operation World. Pick up a copy. It might change your prayer life, and heck…God might just use it to change your life. I encourage you to begin praying for the world, especially for those who have never heard. When God’s people pray, God makes things happen.
