What happens when you take a look at the news with Global Christian lenses? You pray!
But it’s hard to pray consistently if you don’t know what is going on in the world. Also most news is local or national and focuses on politics or celebrity news. Where can you find global news to help you pray for the global events God might be using to advance His gospel?
One simple tool that helps believers pray with greater awareness is the daily podcast from Missions Network News. This podcast takes less than five minutes to listen to. You can listen to their daily podcasts on platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts while you are in your car, exercising at the gym, or cleaning around the house. You can use it to pray for the world as a family or a small group. It gives a snapshot on the latest global events affecting missionaries, churches, and unreached peoples around the world. Listening regularly can help you move from general prayers for the world to specific, informed prayers for real people and ministries.
Here are a couple practical ways to use the podcast as a guide for prayer.
As you listen, ask questions such as:
You don’t need to remember every story. As you are listening, choose one story you will pray for.
After listening to an episode, take time to thank God and pray for specific needs. This podcast is a great way to pray with more awareness of global needs.
