“A new website “PeopleFixingTheWorld.Com” asks your help in prayer for the cause of “PEOPLE FIXING THE WORLD” and uniting people of all nations in this effort.  It’s objective is to get the world community to recognize that we should all raise each other up instead of pulling each other down by making decisions that maximize the benefit to everyone affected.  There are 25 ideas on the website that attempt to solve the biggest problems humankind faces at the current time. The originator is asking that you will pray that people around the world see this message and come together to create a much better world in the name of God almighty.”

"History belongs to the intercessors, who believe the future into being." -Henri Nouwen, Catholic theologian

World problems and needs flood our newspapers and 24/7 Internet and TV programs. Many of them like war between ethnic groups and nations or radical Islam and terrorism seem intractable and insoluble by human means. A greatly underused resource is transformational prayer. People do pray but often do not understand how to pray transformationally because they are praying their own agenda rather than seeking God for His. 

Over the last 30 years, starting with my involvement in an international humanitarian organization trying to meet desperate human need, I have been amazed over and over again to see how God responds to groups of people who seek His guidance and help in solving impossible situations of conflict and suffering. Colleagues and I have now facilitated national prayer initiatives in 60 countries of the world. We now have a growing body of knowledge and experience after observing the headlines change, sometimes the same day or within days of such initiatives. Peace agreements, governments of national unity or the removal of evil leaders have often occurred to the amazement and joy of all who have participated. 

My conviction is that all of the knotty problems we face as human beings can be solved through a human-divine partnership involving our seeking God's wisdom and help. Instead of pushing ahead to martial the best human resources and know-how to come up with solutions, we need to pause and ask for help from our Creator who has told us to call out to Him. "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know" (Jeremiah 33:3). Many great inventors and scientists have testified to the intuitive breakthroughs they have received that came from a source beyond their own faculties. We too need to surrender ourselves to God and ask for His direction. The one who created as many stars as there are grains of sand on all the beaches of the entire world is a Super Intelligence who will guide us as His creatures with wisdom and love if we ask Him to do so.  Jesus said, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours (Mark 11:24). He also said, "Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete (John 16:24).
