PRAY FOR A PARTICULAR NATION DURING EVERY SUNDAY SERVICE
Paul had a heart for his brethren in Israel to come to Christ (Rom. 9:1-3). He loved them and wanted them to know Christ: “For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh” (v. 3).
Sometimes, this love comes only through intense prayer. In Scripture, God often cultivates ministry partnerships through the seed of prayer. One church praying for another church was a key piston in the engine of church growth in the book of Acts:
“Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For He had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Acts 8:14-17)
