Greetings!  We are pleased to bring our partners around the world the July edition of International Prayer Connections.   Amidst many challenging and needy situations, there are reasons to give thanks to our Heavenly Father… for breakthrough in the Korean Peninsula that even months ago we could not have imagined and early rains in Cape Town that have eased the potential drought situation, to name just two.

Each month, I meet with fellow network leaders around the globe, using online conferencing software. I cannot remember a time with so much happening to further the mobilising of prayer and mission.  We are seeing a number of initiatives that are focused on raising awareness and prayer for the unreached peoples’ groups.  The Children in Prayer Movement are doing some excellent work and are an example of great collaboration.  There are some encouraging developments across the middle east too. 

I am grateful to my colleague Brian Mills for writing our lead article this month on the topic of Praying for the Persecutors.   He has recently published a book entitled ‘Window on the Darkness’ that is timely and challenging. It is available in print or Kindle formats from Amazon USA |  Amazon UK .

May I draw your attention to the United Prayer Rising event taking place in Toronto, Canada August 8-11 2018.  This will be a significant event. Please see the article below.  More information and sign up here:www.uprisingcanada.com

International Prayer Connections is produced and distributed freely each month.  We are grateful to those who give generously to enable this to happen.   If you would like to make a gift towards our costs, please click here.

Best wishes, in Him
