Prayercast

Answer to Prayer

The increasing size and influence of evangelicals. Not only is numerical growth continuing at a modest but stable rate, but evangelicals are beginning to be recognized as a legitimate expression of the Church and as key players in social and political scenes.

     For an additional Answer to Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.

Challenge for Prayer

Venezuela is a volatile and divided nation. The economy is deeply dependent on the price of oil, and the political scene is polarized between the president’s supporters and his detractors. Increasingly strident anti-Western posturing offsets widespread investments in social and economic programmes for the poor. Pray for the wisdom to administer the nation wisely, to implement sensible policies that strengthen the nation and to strive for peace domestically and abroad.
