The 2012 Seek God for the City booklet is now available for purchase. The booklet is being offered this year in a partnership with Church of God Prayer Ministries and Pathway Press. Again, it has a special Church of God prayer ministries section.
This is the second year, Church of God Prayer Ministries has partnered with Waymakers, the producer of the booklet. Steve Hawthorne, a member of the international prayer committee and editor of the well-known Perspectives mission’s book and course, is also the creator and author of the 40-day ‘prayer evangelism’ campaign that runs this year from Feb. 22 through April 8.
Prayer and the Great Commission have been the emphasis during the tenure of Dr. Raymond Culpepper, General Overseer. Dr. Culpepper notes, “During these 40 days, I urge you to pray—to use the creative suggestions in this prayer guide. Get out into your community and pray for the unreached! … Evangelism begins with prayer … I am asking Church of God congregations around the world to pray for the harvest, for their city. Remember, the light that shines brightly abroad, shines brightest at home.”
Dr. Roland Vaughn, former World Missions Director, now focused on Unreached Peoples continues to say with passion, “We must finish the Great Commission.” This booklet with its nations focus is an aid in that task. Doug Small, coordinator of Prayer Ministries says, “Each day, the guide offers suggestions for prayer walking, nations are listed for prayer – but most of all, the believer is taken on a 40-day ride that exposes the heart to the pulsating needs of the lost around us. It is an eye-opening, heart-softening 40 day prayer experience. So often, our prayer life circles around our narrow slice of pain – this prayer journey shifts our focus to the harvest field.”
Dr. Tim Hill, Assistant General Overseer and leader of the Church of God Division of World Evangelization notes, “USA Missions is thrilled to participate in and be a part of a nation-wide prayer movement inaugurated by the “Seek God for the City” initiative.”
The price of the booklets range from $3.00 to as little as $1.35 for larger quantities.
