For decades, Operation World has been the world's leading resource for people who want to impact the nations for Christ through prayer. Its twofold purpose has been to inform for prayer and to mobilize for mission. Now the research team of Operation World offers this abridged version of the 7th edition called Pray for the World as an accessible resource to facilitate prayer for the nations. The Operation World researchers asked Christian leaders in every country, "How should the body of Christ throughout the world be praying for your country?" Their responses provide the prayer points in this book, with specific ways your prayers can aid the global church. When you hear a country mentioned in the news, you can use Pray for the World to pray for it in light of what God is doing there. Each entry includes: - Timely challenges for prayer and specific on-the-ground reports of answers to prayer- Population and people group statistics- Charts and maps of demographic trends- Updates on church growth, with a focus on evangelicals- Explanations of major currents in economics, politics and societyJoin millions of praying people around the world. Hear God's call to global mission. And watch the world change.
