“We know the only way God is going to move in power in our country is through prayer. But we don’t understand prayer very well. Can you help us?”
Earlier this year, an underground church leader in North Africa asked Chris Ruge, OneWay’s Vice President of Global Prayer Mobilization and Strategy, this heartfelt question.
In a country where Muslims who leave Islam to follow Christ face the death penalty, believers are longing to see God move—but they need help in strengthening their prayers. An estimated 2,000 to 3,000 believers follow Christ in this nation, where few are willing to go.
Chris spent seven hours a day training underground church leaders in the foundations of prayer, continually asking the Lord to direct their time together.
One of the most impactful moments came when Chris felt prompted to introduce a simple but powerful strategy: prayer walks around places in need of prayer.
“I live right next to the main prison in the country,” one leader said. “For the rest of my life, I am going to go on prayer walks around that prison regularly!”
