Stats to fuel the flames for prayers feat. Molly Wall (Operation World/UK)
Manage episode 306190457 series 2962816
Currently based in the UK, Molly sheds light on the works inside the small but efficient team at Operation World (OW). Her areas cover research in missions and mobilizing prayer and missions. Both Ray and Molly like-mindedly assured the audience that there are no such thing as outdated prayer points. ‘Old’ prayer items are often relevant in the current time and may need years of prayers for breakthrough to happen. Molly stresses the importance of faithful, steadfast, continual prayer for transformation in the church.
Molly also shares of her struggles being a worker behind the scenes, with a lack of connectedness being a major aspect. ‘To walk the talk and not just talk the talk’- the OW team spends time regularly in prayer over items that they publish, as well as maintaining relationship with stakeholders to stay connected.
OW, in book format, has had seven editions published. The most recent is from 2010, which is a complete update of the 21st century edition, released in 2001 and revised in 2005. The original edition was produced in 1964, from South Africa. This version was only 32 pages of basic information about 30 countries.
