In Brazil, pastors gather behind the platform. In Eastern Europe, a room is set aside for those who gather for prayer. I've watched these dear men and women cry to God for their fellow countrymen. And I've seen God answer their prayers. I've also observed that there's a growing interest in prayer in North America and Western Europe.
Prayer groups seem to be popping up everywhere.
But there seems to be one major difference in the kind of praying I've seen in developing countries and the type of praying in the West. That difference - desperation. Don't misunderstand me. I'm thankful for the new interest in prayer that's growing in the West. I praise God for it.
