Challenges for Prayer

Christian commitment is low and nominalism widespread, despite nearly all Bahamians claiming to be Christian. Few are willing to commit themselves to the Lord’s work, and many congregations are without adequate pastoral care. Most households own a Bible; few actively read it. Pray for revival and for a missionary vision among believers.
     For an additional 2 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
