There’s a war on. When we see violent injustice, broken systems and false ideas destroying lives every day, many reach first for the best tactics known to man: protesting, changing laws, creating media campaigns – the list goes on. Yet the true battle is in the spiritual realm.
In Prayer That Impacts the World, two seasoned leaders in the global prayer movement reveal strategies for change proven effective over many years – and grounded solidly in God’s Word. This practical study guide will lead you step-by-step into a deeper walk of prayer with Jesus, learning grace for fasting, cultivating true community, and living out our mission in light of eternity.

The keys shared in Prayer That Impacts the World are powerful, birthed in a radical community of intercessors on the front lines. Few communities are as deeply committed to the ministry of prayer as JHOP DC. I am so grateful for the years they have sowed, as they have stood on the wall and interceded for our nation.
