“If we understood the potential power of our prayers, we would be on our knees a hundred times a day, asking Him for things that would turn the world upside-down.”
Brother Andrew, founder of Open DoorsDiscover different ways to engage in prayer.
YOUR PRAYER RESOURCES
Of the many things our persecuted family need, they ask for your prayers most of all. In desperate situations, where almost nothing is certain, they know God is more powerful than the forces that seek to discourage or destroy them.
You can use these resources to help you pray for your brothers and sisters, for them to hold on, even in the darkest times.
