[edit] Touch the World Through Prayer
[edit] Author
- By Dr. Wesley L. Duewel, he has given himself to the cause of missions for the past 66 years. Following ministry in India for nearly 25 years, he served as president of OMS International (1969-1982). He is now President Emeritus and special assistant to the president for evangelism and intercession. During his years in India, Dr. Wesley Duewel followed closely the development of postwar independent India, helped spearhead the Evangelical Fellowship of India, and was prominent in leadership of the North India Christian Literature Society, as well as the Bible Society of India.
[edit] Sample text
- Wesley Duewel details how Christians with a burden for missions can have an active role through intercessory prayer.
- He describes how to pray in the power of Jesus' name, how to counteract the influence of Satan, how to recognize the work of angels in answer to prayer.
- God Calls You to Prayer
- God has a wonderful plan by which you can have world-wide influence. This plan is not just for a chosen few. It is for you. Let me tell you about it.
- Through prayer you can accompany any missionary to remote reaches of the earth. Through prayer you can walk through crowded bazaars, minister in steaming jungles, feed millions of starving men, women, and children, hungry for bread for their bodies and for the Bread of Life.
- Through prayer you can contribute to the ministry of any pastor or evangelist in a church or gospel hall anywhere in the world. Many a time I have felt that through prayer I was at the side of some man or woman of God.
- God has given you a way to make your presence count, a way to be a true partner in His kingdom's work, if you really want to be.
- True, there have been outstanding praying saints over the centuries. By no means do we forget them or the tremendous history-changing role they played through prayer. Thank God for James, the half-brother of Jesus, who spent the latter years of his life praying for the churches God was raising up. When he died and his body was prepared for burial, it was found that his knees were so calloused from hours and hours of kneeling that they almost resembled the knees of a camel. He became known as "Camel-knees." Thank God for Savonarola in fifteenth-century Italy, who prayed down revival in that corrupt age. Thank God for Brainerd, missionary to the American Indians, and his life of prayer and tears. Thank God for "Praying Hyde," the missionary to India, who was perhaps the greatest prayer warrior of this century.
- But God does not depend solely on a few staunch saints. He has planned for ordinary Christians like you and me to become mighty in prayer for the blessing and salvation of people and the reaping of Christ's harvest among the nations today.
