Challenge for Prayer
The Catholic Church has declined in influence and number. Defection to evangelicalism or to the revived Mayan spirituality is massive. Efforts by the Church to limit the impact of the large, charismatic renewal movement have only further hastened the decline, with many Catholic charismatics leaving to start new churches or to join evangelical denominations. Pray for new life to permeate the Church, and that charismatics may be rooted in Scripture rather than in subjective experience.For an additional 13 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
