World Prayer

I have decided to use this blog as a sort of database for any creative ideas I use in youth work and general life. This is partly for my own benefit (I have quite a lot of ideas, but usually forget about them by the time I get to use them), but also for anyone who can make use of it. So here goes.

World Prayer

As part of our once a month alternative service I drew out a map of the world on the floor using masking tape. I then placed copies of news articles from various countries and some of the prayer requests from theTearfund website alongside newsletters from our church's missionaries. You could also include some articles from the Newsround website as theses are short and easy to read. I then asked people to spend some time praying for these different areas (or any other areas/situations they knew of), and when they had done this to place a stone on that area. Simple but effective.
