The spiritual fields most ripe for harvest may not necessarily be oceans away. In fact, they may very well be at the end of your daily commute. That’s right: possibly the most significant calling in God’s kingdom today is to the marketplace!
In this issue, we explore the myriad opportunities to use prayer in the marketplace to reach the lost, comfort the hurting, bring wholeness to the broken, and advance God’s kingdom in the world today.
You'll read about...
"Appointed for Business"—John Beckett, a noted author and leader in the area of marketplace ministry, helps us recapture a biblical understanding of work and ministry. John traces the evolution of the dichotomous western worldview that competes against a healthy, God-given perspective of the marketplace as ministry. Then, sharing from Scripture and his own experiences, John paints an exciting and dynamic picture of the spiritual harvest at our doorsteps through marketplace prayer and ministry.
"Prayer-Driven Enterprise"—Suzanne Jordan Brown profiles David Green, owner and president of the multi-million dollar hobby and craft business, Hobby Lobby, and discovers how prayer is the driving force behind the success of this successful company. You’ll learn how David has depended on God’s direction and provision—relying on prayer as the chief means to seek it—as well as how prayer is an every day component of business life for him and his staff.
"Strategic Prayer for Marketplace Influencers"—These scriptural prayers will help you intercede for the people in your life who seek to impact their businesses, jobs, or professions for Christ. This article is also available as a Pray! prayer card.
In this theme section, you’ll also read the testimonies of people from various segments of the marketplace who have prayed in and for their workplace—with some startling results!
Also in this issue...
"Don’t Delay the Gift of On-the-Spot Prayer"—When we pray on the spot for immediate needs, the moment they arise, we can give a precious gift of God’s comfort, peace, and hope to those who need it. Pastor and author Art Hunt shows how you can creatively and sensitively make right-now intercession for others a part of your regular prayer life.
"A Conflict of Interests: Interceding from God’s Perspective and Not Our Own"—Popular Pray! author Sandy Mayle presents a compelling case for learning to intercede according to God’s interests, and not those of our own hearts and desires. Sandy shares clearly and scripturally how praying in God’s interests opens the way for His will to be accomplished in the lives of those for whom we’re interceding.
PrayKids!: Hearing God
One of the most delightful privileges of being a child of God is the ability to hear His voice. Throughout Scripture and history, our heavenly Father has consistently demonstrated His love for His people by communicating with them in a variety of ways. God told Jeremiah, "Call to me and I will answer" (Jer. 33:3). "My sheep listen to my voice," said Jesus (Jn. 10:27). The Holy Spirit says, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" (Heb. 3:7-8). The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all continue to speak today. In this issue, kids will learn that they can hear God’s voice, too!
Also, the PrayKids! Teacher's Guide is now available in book form—a comprehensive curriculum for all 26 PrayKids! issues that provides discussion material, activities, crafts, games, and guidelines for powerful prayer times just for kids. Check it out at www.praykids.com, and use it in your own home, church, or homeschool.
