Prayers for the Faithful: Fervent Daily Prayer and Meditations for Christians Serving Around the World

By Mary Ann Bridgwater

A few words from Beth Moore: "About ten years ago God began leading me to take a far more active role in missions . . . primarily through daily intercession. I recall wondering, How does a person approach praying for the entire world? God graciously placed tools in my hands along the way, but I can assure you I've never seen one quite like [ Prayers for the Faithful ]. Mary Ann Bridgwater has done her homework. This guide is packed full of Scripture. All we need to do is add some faith, open our mouths and pray them! The testimonies she has included will cause our fellow servants on the field to become more than names to you. Their stories and requests will steal your heart and hopefully some of your prayer time . . . Thank you, Mary Ann, for providing us with the very words of God to pray over His servants. Heaven alone will bear witness of its profound harvest." If you've been wanting to get more involved in the work being done by missionaries around the world, Prayers for the Faithful is the answer for you--a complete guide to devoting daily, deliberate prayer into everything that matters most to missionaries: their ministries, their families, their motivations and desires, even their parents and relatives back home. It's an opportunity to make your prayers match the heartbeat of God, while helping to accomplish His work in hearts a world away. Whether individually, in small groups, or as an entire churchwide emphasis, let this inspired plan of intercession lead you where you've always wanted your prayer life to go--somewhere far beyond you!

Perfect devotional book!

Some friends and I went through this book together while doing a special project in which we wanted to learn more about missionaries' lives, being missionaries, and the practical side of missions work. After doing some research, we settled on this book as our devotional, and I couldn't have been happier with the choice! It's broken up into a 5-days-a-week devotional, with each day having a section for praise/thanksgiving, repenting/reflecting on what the Lord is convicting our hearts of, asking the Lord for things, and yielding to what the Lord has shown us through our time with Him that day. Scriptures accompany each section, and each day you pray for missionaries in a different country, which I really liked. The focus of this devotional, as opposed to so many devotion books out there today, is NOT on self. It isn't focused on ME and MY wants and needs, but rather drawing you in to a deeper relationship with God through focusing on OTHERS. I can't say enough about how amazing and refreshing it has been to read through this book, and be encouraged to think of others before myself, to focus on the Lord rather than my needs. I highly recommend this book to anyone!
