The Mobilization Index: Connecting the Global Church to the UnreachedSince their first 32-page prayer guide in 1964, Operation World has been informing and inspiring Christians around the world to join God in praying for the nations.

Her Eyes Fixed On A PrizeHer trip to Morocco was approaching. She didn't know what to expect in Morocco or what purpose she could even find there.
