News and Views

Another thought on the VOM conference...I was reminded that there is so much more going on around the world than we ever hear reported in the news. In my mind, I know God is as work, but sometimes in the day to day grind of listening to politicized news, it becomes second thought rather than a fore thought.

For example, as we listen to the political blurps about news in Iraq and Iran, we shouldn't forget that God is doing something utterly awesome in reviving the heart-hunger of these Muslims toward Himself. He is creating revival. He is creating a people for Himself--new brothers and sisters in Christ. Listening to world news should be like an outline for prayer targets that day. New people are being brought into a saving faith in Jesus every hour and they covet our prayers.

What news can we pray through today?
