Two hundred copies of the book by that title will be for sale at $2.00 this Sunday morning and evening.  It is the first Sunday of Prayer Week. We call it Prayer Advance 1985 – “The Weapon and the Wielding Power”. The book and the week can change your life – and your world. If you join us.

The prayer committee have prayed and planned. As I write this I have just listened to Billy Graham speak of unexplainable openings for the Gospel in the USSR. I have just read Virgil Olsen's radical challenge to the BGC to develop a new missionary task force outside the present structure, “not entangled by unified budgets or carved. . . to fit the BGC puzzle.”

I am excited with the possibilities of 1985! Domestic ministries are going to flourish on the home front.  Frontier missions are going to flourish from the home front. If we plow the front with prayer. Prayer week sets the plow deep.
