Product Description: Operation World is the definitive prayer handbook and reference guide. Packed with informative and inspiring fuel for prayer about every country of the world, it is essential for anybody who wants to make a difference. It was the winner of the 2002 Gold Medallion Book Award and has been quoted in numerous journals and articles. In contains information for all the continents and every country in the world.
Inspired Meetings I encourage teams to meet weekly (either in department groupings or in full staff meetings), but, trust me, I've endured (and often led) more than my fair share of really boring staff meetings. So if the meetings you lead are not fun and inspiring for you, why drag other team members into the drudgery?
The solution? Your weekly meetings need a balanced dose of Cause, Community and Corporation, as described in my book, Mastering The Management Buckets: 20 Critical Competencies for Leading Your Business or Non-profit. The Corporation side (budgets, binders and bureaucracy) often overload the meeting agenda--to the neglect of the relational needs of Community and the results and strategy imperatives of the Cause. Always evaluate your staff meetings with an eye on the three-legged stool of Cause, Community and Corporation. Are your meetings balanced with all three?
To add inspiration to your weekly staff meetings, bring this amazing resource book to your next meeting. Operation World lists every country of the world in alphabetical order and includes a map, population, language, religion and missions statistics, plus prayer requests. It also includes the percentage of evangelical Christians in each nation. Resources available on the Operation World website also feature revisions and updates and a different country to pray for each day.
When your team has a world view, with help from Operation World, your own problems and challenges will take on a different perspective. Try it.
A useful book, but in many ways dangerous This book is very useful in prayer, and I'm very grateful for it.
HOWEVER
it is dangerously ecumenical, and even advocates praying for the spread of Roman Catholicism. Rome's false gospel of works will send folks to Hell just as fast as their indigenous religions or their atheism.
Great Prayer Guide for the World I highly recommend this book to use as a prayer guide or reference book to see what the needs are in each country.
The power of transformation through "Operation World" The power of prayer has been underestimated by the secular and even amongst the community of believers in Jesus Christ. Jesus gave to all who believe in Him and His words and works a very clear command: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:18-20). Therefore, when we pray according to this command, Jesus, the Son of God, works, always in conjunction with the Father and the Holy Spirit. I believe this book is an outcome of answered prayers done in the past, that motivated people passionate about changing lives all over the world, to produce such an essential and strategic work like this book. Operation World puts us into God's perspective of reaching all nations and tribes and languages with His love and salvation. It is a very powerfull and useful tool to equip anyone interested in getting a grasp of the world's scenario, so that when we start praying and when we keep on praying for the nations, we are much more aligned with God's work and love for all peoples of the earth.
An educated way to pray for the world It is easy to want the world to hear the gospel, but it is difficult to pray specifically toward that end. This book is a great tool to use daily so that you may pray more thouroughly for the different countries of the world and to know more about the people in them. It has at least one country for every day of the year and it tells so much helpful information. I learn as I pray for these people. It's a great book for your individual use, or with your family.
