Fighting to Follow
The more we surrender to Christ and walk as one with Him, the greater resistance we will experience not just from the world, but from within the church. Have you felt it yet? We have a real enemy.

Lord, be our Shield. Protect us and our loved ones from harm. Don’t let the enemy spoil our time together, but cut him out of the meeting.

Stories from Syria: A Dream of Jesus
Here at the Prayer Wall, as we pray for the Middle East, we often pray for Jesus to meet Muslims in their dreams, because that is one of the main ways they are coming to faith without access to the Gospel.
