At WPC, the team pray for a nation every day during our morning prayer time. We wondered if you would like to join us to Pray 4 the Nations.

We pray in our prayer room which has a huge map of the world on the wall – sometimes we need to check where our designated country is! Our pattern is to pray week days alternating between one of the fifty top persecuted nations (using information from Open Doors UK and other sources) and other nations of the world. We will pray for the country where elections are being held. We've found it useful to use information from Operation World to shape and inform our prayer.

We pray as the spirit leads us – listening to each other – using the scriptures to understand God's character and purpose as we pray. The purpose of prayer is to pray that Gods will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Jesus loves each nation and desires that people will be saved – we listen to him so that we can pray with faith and authority. Praying for the nations is a real privilege.
