SOUL LEARNING to add to your summer rhythms:
RAISING CHILDREN WITH A HEART FOR THE NATIONS
Pray the World this Summer!
Pray the World is a 31-day journey through Scripture and the nations.
Each day begins in God’s Word by walking through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and then widens the lens to a specific country where that same gospel message is needed–and often resisted. From underground churches to displaced communities, from ancient Christian lands to places where almost no one has heard the name of Christ, this devotional invites you to see the world as God sees it.
This book will not overwhelm you with statistics. It will aim for your heart. It will help you pray with understanding as you anchor your confidence in the finished work of Christ and stretch your vision of the Great Commission.
Because the story of Jesus does not end at the empty tomb. It moves outward–to all nations. And you are invited to join it.
