Jesus reminded His disciples that the temple in Jerusalem was intended to be a “house of prayer for all nations.” (See Mark 11:17 NIV “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’?”
– What would it look like for Faith Church to become a “house of prayer?” What would it look like for prayer to become a noticeable characteristic of our church family?
– What does it mean to be a house of prayer for all nations? Would it mean to welcome, make space for, people from any and all nations? Would it mean to pray for all nations? Is there a convenient way for us to pray specifically for people groups (“nations”) around the world?
Here is one way to be prompted to pray for the people groups around the world. See the photo below that is courtesy of unreachedoftheday.org. The photo will update each day to display a different people group for which you can pray.
Bookmark this post and return frequently, or daily, to pray for all nations!
