1 online resource (93 pages), \"When we watch the news, our hearts break for a world in need. But Christians are not powerless to help: we can pray. In fact, that's exactly what God tells us to do: \"petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving [should] be made for all people\" (1 Timothy 2 v 1-2). If we're serious about reaching our local community and the wider world with the gospel, the first thing we'll do is pray. Trouble is, most of us don't know where to start.
