Summary:

WayMakers provides training and imparts vision for leaders of prayer movements. Steve Hawthorne is General Director. In this prayer/devotional booklet, he discusses the glory and joy of God in the prayers of His people and the personal spiritual growth praying brings to believers as they learn to look beyond themselves and share God’s love with others (first in prayer and then in service). 

Hawthorne gives some direction on prayer, guiding readers to use Scripture’s language, promises, and stories to help.  He explains the power prayer can have and some ways to increase its power in the lives of God’s people (praying for specific people, prayer in specific places, praying together, praying longer, etc.).

The specific themes are:

·         Week 1 – Seeking His Life to Revive the Church

·         Week 2 – Seeking His Light to Awaken the Lost

·         Week 3 – Seeking His Glory in Evangelizing all Peoples

·         Week 4 – Seeking His Righteousness in Our Communities

·         Week 5 – Seeking His Peace Among All Peoples

·         Day 40 – Seeking His Visitation

The book ends with some suggestions on continuing the prayer mission for the cities and communities around the world.
