I recently picked up the latest edition of Operation World – The Definitive Prayer Guide to Every Nation. After reading David Platt’s Radical last year, I was convicted to spend 2011 praying for the whole world using Operation World as a guide.
I’ve started. It’s a big task. But I’m praying to a big God who can do “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20). The book is set out with dates to be able to use as a year long prayer journal, or you can just read and pray about random countries (I’ve used it to pray during the past 2 soccer World Cups).
The official Operation World website has a stack of useful pages to help fuel your prayer if you don’t own the book (click here to buy it).
If you join me praying through the world this year, use the hashtag #OperationWorld if you plan on tweeting what you learn to help others pray with you.
And they sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
(Revelation 5:9-10 ESV)
I’ve read his book as well; just finished it & wanted to start praying for every nations. Thanks for the link you’ve put on the page; I believe it will help me in many ways prying for these countries.
I would join u in prayers for the planting of your church.
Thanks Dixon. I have added you to the list, stay for the next email shortly.
In the meantime, here is the last one: davemiers.com/brisbane-church-plant-update-1/
