This is a special episode of the Impact Nations Podcast. Have you ever set aside time to pray, only to discover that you're not sure what to pray? In Matthew 6, Jesus gave us The Lord’s Prayer. It’s a great blueprint for prayer, but if we’re being honest with ourselves, it can sometimes start to feel a little stale. Today we present you with an audio version of Steve’s ebook, When You Pray: Ending Uncertainty in Prayer. In this book, Steve gives us a line-by-line illumination of this very powerful prayer model, and then provides us with an actual example of how he might pray. To receive a written version of this book, you can find it at impactnations.com/when-you-pray.

In this final episode of the season we are discussing the last chapters of John’s gospel with our friend, Brad Jersak. During the episode, Brad references an essay by Bob Ekblad. That essay can be found in a book called Stricken By God? Steve suggests adding a translation of the Septuagint to your collection of Bibles. His favorite is The Orthodox Study Bible.This year Impact Nations has provided clean water for over 20,000 people. We have led Journeys of Compassion to seven different nations where thousands of people have responded to the gospel and dozens of churches were planted. Nearly one hundred people have received our small business training. Women have been rescued from a life of forced prostitution, while others have been freed from prison or a life on the streets. Now, that may sound like we’re tooting our own horn, but actually, you donors are the ones who should be taking a victory lap. People from all over the world have given their time, money, talents, and resources to make all of this happen.
