One Mission Society invites you to You Can Touch the World Through Prayer By Susan Loobie Director of Communications One Mission Society If you’re like me, you probably don’t consider yourself to be a great prayer warrior. I’ve always used the Ephesians 4 defense that God didn’t call me to be a pray-er, but rather, my gifts can be used in other ways. Well, my thoughts have changed. After reading longtime OMS missionary statesman Dr. Wesley Duewel’s best-selling book Touch the World Through Prayer, I know that I, too, can make a world of difference through my prayers. In fact, Dr. Duewel says that we can not only touch the world through our prayers, but we can help change it. “God has planned that ordinary Christians like you and me can become mighty in prayer for the reaping of Christ’s harvest among the nations today.” Dr. Duewel’s passion for prayer comes through clearly as he explains how every Christian can pray for missionaries, church leaders, and political leaders in countries around the globe where the Gospel is being preached today. Dr. Duewel 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, and much more. The book provides step-by-step plans for making a prayer list, organizing a prayer circle, and holding a prayer retreat for your Christian friends who have a burden for missions. “We can reach our world, if we will. The greatest lack today is not people or funds. The greatest need is prayer.” If you want to touch the world through prayer, sign up to be an OMS World Intercessor at www.onemissionsociety.org/1billion. Dr. Wesley Duewel is a former President of One Mission Society. He served as a missionary in India for 25 years. Dr. Duewel is also the author of Ablaze for God; Mighty Prevailing Prayer; More God, More Power; and Revival Fire.
