Unleashing Truth
These days, it feels like our freedoms are slipping away. Those who speak truth or stand up for certain rights can find themselves persecuted severely, even placed in jail. However, the problems we are facing, as earthly as they feel, are spiritual. As much as those who persecute feel like the enemy, they are not.Continue reading “Unleashing Truth”
Pray for Myanmar’s Children
A Myanmar military helicopter fired at a school in central Sagain Region, Myanmar, killing at least six children and wounding another 17 last week. Unfortunately, these kinds of attacks are all too common in Myanmar since a military coup early last year. Lord, please have mercy on Myanmar, especially on the innocent who have noContinue reading “Pray for Myanmar’s Children”
Radical Praying
When we opened this Prayer Wall in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic, God laid on my heart to call His people throughout the world to pray together daily for global awakening. Several months later, I happened upon Christian author/journalist Mike Evans’ claim that in 1986, evangelist David Wilkerson told him: “I see aContinue reading “Radical Praying”
Children of the Living God

Lord, we pray for our children.Continue reading “Children of the Living God”

Missiles Hit Kyiv
After weeks of calm in Kyiv, as Russia focused on Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, missiles bombarded the capital once again yesterday. Lord, please have mercy. Cover Kyiv and all of Ukraine with Your mighty hand. Turn around hearts bent on evil and destruction, and save the innocent, please Father. Awaken the hearts of those whoContinue reading “Missiles Hit Kyiv”
Deadly Landslides in Brazil
Thousands of people from the favelas (hillside shacks) in Pernambuco, Brazil, have been displaced; about 100 have died, and at least 14 are still missing after landslides Friday.

Continued Prayer for Uvalde
A retired pastor, great grandfather of one of the fallen children in the Uvalde tragedy, told those gathered at a prayer vigil Thursday night he does not want to have hate in his heart for the murderer. In the aftermath of last Tuesday’s mass shooting at an elementary school in the small Texan community, speciallyContinue reading “Continued Prayer for Uvalde”
